Partner relationships are much better than sparring relationships. When relationships in a Christian school are strained, the strain affects everyone. Apprehension and fear are by-products of broken or strained relationships. Apprehension keeps a person from reaching out to someone or trying something new. It forces people to hold back instead of providing leadership.
Fear hinders honesty.
Relationships that fail to promote security and trust create fear. Relationships that fail to reflect the humility and love of Christ destroy trust. Apprehension and fear are fueled by the inability of Christians to trust God. The Christian school is the place where relationships are perfected, a place where associations are built on Biblical principles. Students attending a Christian school are exposed to patience, forgiveness, unconditional love, and humility, all within the framework of the Scripture.
