Often people ask me why me and my husband pay so much money to send our kids to a private Christian school. The first thing that I always say is this, "I believe that our children are gifts of the Lord. We are responsible to train them according to His Word not only at home and in church, but in school as well." Christian school educators teach all subject matter from a Christian context. They put the Bible at the center of the curriculum and ask students to evaluate all they see in the world through the eyes of God. I think it is SO important for me and my family to view everything we do through the eyes of god and through his LOVE for us. I am no perfect being (far from perfect..totally wicked far actually ) and I don't always see life through God's eyes..but God's strength is MY core, and even when i stray off the path..I can be rest assured that God will pull me back and back in the right direction. I can go on and on about the small class sizes, extra attention, and the fact that Christian schools offer a better level of instruction. There is no question about it. The test scores over a long period of years are conclusive. The annual Stanford Achievement Test administered to first through eighth grade Christian school students in the western states shows these students to be seven to nineteen months ahead of the national norm in reading, and seven to thirteen months ahead of the national norm in all subject areas. BUT....All that for me is simply icing on the cupcake. GOD'S word is why I choose to send them to their school. Below are some pictures inside Anna's classroom.
Anna says to me, "Mommy look me and God share the same Birthday month!" *SIGH* seriously, it does not get any sweeter than that!!
This is my most favorite poster hanging in the classroom!
amen!
I hope everyone has a blessed day! Love to you all!

That is precious! We always have a Happy Birthday Jesus party with our girls. =) They love it!!
I couldn't agree more, Mel! The worst thing public scools ever did was take God out of the classroom. It is proven that all discipline and education have been at a serious deline since. When will everyone wake up and see that He is what we need at the center of everything in our lives? I love the pics from Anna's school! So cute that she acknowledges that her and Jesus share the same birthday month! Love that! Love YOU!♥
My kids recently started a private Christian school. They love it and so do I. They learn so much about the bible and my oldest even preached his first sermon this year on the night the young men do the service. Only bad thing is our town is small and we have less than 200 students and never any money and we never know if the school will make it to the next year.
