Our Christian Schools should be the most successful schools in their communities! School budgets should never be a hindrance to the work the Lord is and COULD be doing through your schools. I have seen schools and churches transformed. Hear some of my favorite comments from parents:
"My child HATED school, was always complaining of tummy aches. We battled every day to get them to go. NOW my child can't wait to get to school! They lay out their uniform at night and wake up early to get ready! They LOVE school now and I have my kid back"
"My child hated reading and now I can't get them to put their books down! I actually found her hiding in the bathroom reading last night. Thank you!"
"Sammy asked, "Is it Monday yet?"
"Can you please tell my child that it is OK to stay home when they are sick. They keep telling me that they don't want to miss school and miss out on anything!"
"We want our friends' kids to come to this school! Can you give me some of your brochures and your card so I can have them call you!?"
I heard all of the above comments from parents at schools that I have been blessed to consult with including my own, Horizon Prep. My desire is that you would hear comments like these at your school as well. I have joyfully served the last 12 years at Horizon Prep in Rancho Santa Fe, California as a Teacher, Vice Principal, Principal and Consultant.
