10 Reasons to choose a Christian Education Reason #5 ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT!

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Students at Christian schools consistently out-perform their public school counterparts. Their standardized test scores are way above the curve, and they're better prepared for college upon graduation. 
Even in the areas of math and reading, subjects that are "less spiritual" in content, students at Christian schools have proven their superiority. The best colleges are likely to pay your children more attention, not less, if they attend a Christian school.

10 Reasons to choose a Christian Education Reason #4 Safety

Simply put, Christian schools are a safer place for your children to receive an education. In addition to physical well-being, Christian Schools offer a much safer emotional and spiritual environment. While not devoid of problems they are far less likely to occur, and far more likely to be met with firm disciplinary action. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving and caring environment that is conducive for greater academic success, emotional well-being and spiritual growth.

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

 GOD TELLS US TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN THROUGH THE WORD

It is a sad but true irony: public schools, the self-proclaimed shapers of the human mind, have chosen to ignore the God who created the human mind. To their chagrin, they have robbed themselves of their most valuable "textbook," and the only available source of absolute truth.
"The school system that ignores God teaches its pupils to ignore God; and this is not neutrality. It is the worst form of antagonism, for it judges God to be unimportant and irrelevant in human affairs. This is atheism." Gordon H. Clark
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," writes Solomon. "And knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10). As students pursue the knowledge of math, biology and music in a Christian setting, they're chasing after the knowledge of God. And the by-products of such an endeavor - wisdom and understanding - are the God-given rewards for which every good student strives.
God expects you, as a Christian parent, to plant and nurture His Word in the hearts and minds of your children. This is best accomplished in settings where home, church and school all send the same message, teaching God's truth with clarity, conviction and consistency. And while the benefits of such a commitment are often realized much later, here's one you'll notice in relatively short order. An education that uses God's Word as its foundational text does more than produce spiritually-mature Christians. It makes them wiser and more knowledgeable. It forces them to be better thinkers. And isn't that the goal of education in the first place?
