Messages of Encouragement

The Benefits of a Christian Education

2/26/2016

 
by Adam Kronberger / Superintendent

Crosshill Christian School families were reminded of the cost of Christian Education this month as we enrolled our children for the 2016-2017 school year and paying our registration fees. It is not lost on me the tremendous sacrifice it can be to send our children to an institution of Christian Education year after year. The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) of which CCS is a member, participated in a large survey of private schools in 2010/2011. Below are the some of the highlights that pertain to Christian and/or ACSI schools. I am personally encouraged as my family has experienced many of these widespread impacts of Christian Education. I pray these reminders are an encouragement to you as well. 

Spiritual Benefits of a Christian Education
  • ACSI schools have the greatest emphasis on student development of moral character and personal virtue.
  • Christian school graduates are significantly more likely to pray and read Scripture both alone and with family.
  • ACSI schools have the highest belief in biblical accuracy in scientific and historical matters.
  • Christian school graduates are more likely to attend religious services and respect the authority of church leadership.
  • ACSI schools most often include these among their top priorities: for students to have a close, personal relationship with God, and for students to develop a Christian worldview.
 
Academic Benefits of a Christian Education
  • Since 1974 ACSI schools have scored significantly higher than the national norm in every grade level on a national achievement test.
  • ACSI school students read at least one grade level above the national averages as measured on a national achievement test.
  • ACSI schools average more required course credits in math, science, English, biblical studies, civics, social studies, art and music, and physical education than all other programs surveyed.
  • ACSI school graduates attend college at a significantly higher rate than the national average.
  • Christian school graduates are more likely to attend a religious university and obtain more years of higher education than their public school peers.
 
Cultural Benefits of a Christian Education
  • Christian school graduates donate significantly more money to their churches, religious causes, and other charitable causes overall.
  • A greater percentage of ACSI schools offer missions and social service trips both in the United States and Canada.
  • Christian school graduates give more of their time to volunteer in their congregations, on missions trips, and on relief/aid trips.
  • ACSI schools have greater student involvement in community service, politics, and fine arts than public schools.
  • Christian school graduates have a stronger sense of direction in their lives and are more confident in their ability to deal with life challenges than their peers.
