I asked prospective families about their hopes and dreams for their children, this is what they said:

“I want my child to be happy”
“To become independent financially and emotionally”
“Have a firm foundation of faith”
“Know who they are and created to be”

Those are beautiful answers.

But do they know what it entails?

It requires learning.

Learning is messy. It is frustrating. It can also be infuriating and stressful. It isn’t something that can be tied up neatly in a bow. Not can it be done within a school day. It spills over onto the evenings and the weekends. There will be tears, screaming, and hurtful words.

Learning requires struggles.

And that’s why good Christian school exist!

It is a sandbox for learning.
• boundary to keep students safe to learn
• stress to strength students
• challenges to expand student thinking
• frameworks for acquiring new skills
• guidance to liberate student to grow

Regardless how messy learning gets, there is grace and restoration

Be prepared for the mess

Because school is a place for learning
