A private school education stresses<br />

the importance of an education that<br />

sets high academic standards that will<br />

challenge the students throughout their<br />

academic pursuits. In addition, a private<br />

school has a tendency to foster<br />

smaller class sizes, which in turn cultivates<br />

an educational environment that<br />

has more one-on-one interaction with<br />

the teacher and enables the student to<br />

receive help for academic challenges,<br />

promotes increased class participation,<br />

and allows the teacher to really understand<br />

the students and identify their<br />

weaknesses, as well as their strengths.<br />

A private, Christian school also offers<br />

a diverse, yet intimate, community<br />

of students and families who share a<br />

common set of beliefs, interests and<br />

standards that foster a sense of belonging.<br />

This enriches the environment<br />

that promotes learning and growth<br />

that can be done both on an individual<br />

basis as well as together.<br />

There also is an emphasis on discipline<br />

that is structured around Christian<br />

values and is reflected in various traits,<br />

including thoughtfulness, kindness<br />

and understanding. These elements<br />

transcend into the environment, where<br />

students feel safe both physically and<br />

mentally and that allows students to<br />

be dedicated to the process of learning<br />

rather than uncertainty and worry.<br />

Lastly, values are perhaps one<br />

of the most important elements of<br />

a Christian education. A Christcentered<br />

approach to teaching and<br />

learning allows a private, Christian<br />

school to truly partner with families<br />

and the church to build a foundation<br />

for life that will serve its students well<br />

for the exciting life that lies ahead.<br />
