Not every school that wears the name Christian is truly Christian. If you are trying to determine whether a particular school is a Christian School or just a private school wearing the name and having a Bible Class, there are some questions you must ask.

1. Is every decision from the top administrative decisions to classroom discipline. made prayerfully with the principles of God's word as the guide? This would include the academic decisions for each individual child.

2. Can you sense the presence of God when you enter the classrooms and the different areas of the school building because of the attitudes of teachers and students?

3. Are students and faculty very comfortable talking about God and to God on a regular basis?

4. Is the Word of God read and loved by everyone in the school? Is it quoted when there is a question or issue that needs discernment and/or wisdom?

5. Do the faculty and students have a testimony of loving God and others?

Sacrificing to send your child to a private school that just wears the name Christian could prove to be a disappointing experience, but a truly Christian School will make a profound difference in the life of each student who attends, and will positively affect the family of that student as well.
