The Greek slave teachers thought as Greeks and taught as Greeks. Roman parents were shocked when they discovered a Biblical principle we know today. The pupils had Roman bodies, but Greek minds. Dr. Kenneth O. Gangel stated several reasons why Christian schools are good for our churches. Christian schools affirm and assist a biblically based belief system.
Schools support and expand the teaching ministry of the church.
Christian school students provide an environment to help students share their faith effectively. A Christian school experience can be effective in calling the next generation to recognize and respond to the Great Commission. Today, our children receive conflicting values-laden messages from school, television, radio stations, music, and friends. My children need to be in an educational environment in which their teachers are deeply committed to Jesus Christ and to a Christian philosophy of education. They need to learn from educational materials that are Biblically-integrated.
