The Christian School Isn't Perfect... Just Necessary

Called to Teach

What a great mission, to be called to teach in a Christian school.

Remember this, when you stand in front of your students, at that moment in time you are the most important person in their lives. Your actions, attitudes and words can have an amazing impact on their lives.

The responsibility that comes with the designation TEACHER can be a burden... or a passion! And that passion as God's messenger can have eternal consequences.

Your students will leave your classroom and get on with the rest of life.

When they leave, they will take part of you with them.

Will that part of you...

direct them to God?
encourage them to excel?
impassion them to mission?

You do get it, don't you?

All this God-stuff puts an amazing and awesome impetus on teaching in a school that calls itself Christian. Or at least it should.

We can't be content with being "as good as the public school." We must transcend that measuring stick and create one of our own.

It's critical that we grab hold of the idea that we "are more than conquerors."

We cannot become content with apathy, for a growing apathy diminishes the ability to think critically. Once our critical thinking becomes moldy with apathy, we run the extreme risk of becoming apathetic towards God.
That's why this site exists. Our passion is to help us achieve a sense of radical excellence that makes Christian school educators unique in the world of learning and leading.

It is our passion to help those in Christian schools to catch the vision of what it will take to set a standard rather than reach a secular standard that has been shown repeatedly to be infused with fatal flaws.

To create our own unique identity in the world of learning, we need to focus on some rather foundational items.

seek radical excellence by returning to traditional values
develop outstanding leadership that is infused with courageous vision
create schools that are sharply focused on and committed to scripturally based mission statements

The founders of this site have over forty years of combined service in several Christian schools nationwide, both as classroom teachers and other responsibilities. Our experiences, both positive and negative, lead us to one inescapable conclusion

This journey towards a national, growing movement towards a system of excellence, unique identity and mission-focused operation MUST be ignited and fueled by teachers and administrators who develop a genuinely professional dialogue system that works.

To that end, most of what we address on this site will encourage teachers to develop a national forum of communication that will eventually enable us to create a local voice that is respected and listened to.

So the charge is simple.

Keep the Faith, Fight the Fight.
