10 Reasons to choose a Christian Education Reason #3

THE SCHOOL SHARES YOUR VALUES

If you're like most Christian parents, you've taught your children about God since the day they were born. You've taken them to church, read them Bible stories, sung "Jesus Loves Me." Imagine their shock and dismay when they're thrust into an environment in which God is removed, ignored, or both.
Even the best public schools are prohibited by law from reinforcing the values you teach at home. They either compete against them or disregard them altogether. And because you care about the mental and spiritual development of your children, you may spend countless hours trying to bridge the philosophical gap between Christianity and humanism - a gap that would never have existed had they attended Christian school. By entrusting your children to educators who share your values, you'll have more time for ball games and bike rides and meaningful conversations, instead of debriefing and re-educating them. "To commit our children to the care of irreligious persons is to commit lambs to the superintendency of wolves." Timothy Dwight
