How do I Choose a School Option for my Child?

Deciding how to educate your child can feel overwhelming, but because of the gospel,
we have freedom. 

With a growing number of sound options and many opinions on the superior choice, the decision for education can send any sane parent into a tailspin. But thankfully, the Bible doesn’t detail the best option for every Christian family, it only mandates parents to faithfully raise their children in the instruction of the Lord, teaching them to love God and others as they follow God’s design for life. While there are strengths and weaknesses to any choice, when a believing parent has a humble heart and desire to honor the Lord in the circumstances he’s given them, God will direct their path and work all things for their good in Christ. 

Below you'll find a variety of resources that a parent or family can use to prayerfully converse about different schooling choices. There are podcast episodes from our Freedom in School Choice series, our School Choice Questionnaire, and many related articles and resources that we pray will help in your decision-making process.

We understand how daunting this decision can feel (We’re right there beside you trying to make the best choices for our children too!) but we are hopeful these questions can serve as a launch point for thought, prayer, and discussion as you navigate the options.
