Why Christian Education?

It is a complex world that we live in today, and making wise choices seems to be more difficult than ever. Your choice for your child’s education is one the most critical and difficult decisions that you may encounter. Let us share with you why we believe Christian education is vital to your child’s earthly success and eternal destiny:

Christian schools acknowledge that there is a spiritual battle being fought for your child.
We know that Satan desires each person live a life that leads to self-destruction and the destruction of others. We know that God is love, that His desire for His children is to live with power over Satan, to enjoy His blessings on earth, and ultimately to spend eternity in His presence. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10, NIV)

Christian schools impart the truths of the Bible daily to their students.
In order to achieve God’s plan, a child must understand and accept His plan, and be able to fend off Satan’s snares. Without diligent training, children have no way of detecting Satan’s subtle schemes. Parents must carefully and diligently teach them the truth about God’s ways and Satan’s ways, and train them to make wise choices. The Bible contains the truth and is the one book that shows us how to apply God’s wisdom to everyday choices. The book of Proverbs clearly states that wisdom comes from God, and that wisdom “is more profitable than silver…more precious than rubies…Long life is in her right hand…Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace." (Proverbs 2:14-17, NIV)

The Christian school works in harmony with the Christian home and the church, so that a consistent Christian worldview is presented to children. Those institutions that disregard the truth -God, the Bible, and our special purpose on this earth - leave children leaderless, confused, and vulnerable if they are permitted to influence a child. Children are left searching for a path to follow, searching for the truth. Satan will note their vulnerability and lead them down a path that will lead to their own destruction.

As the Christian school teaches children that God loves them, that He desires the best for them, and that He has a special plan for them, children are able to confidently set goals and develop their talents and interests. Christ is their inspiration and their leader. They will believe that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13, NIV). Christian teachers and staff model God’s love and encourage children to live a Christ-like life as they work toward their full potential to God’s glory.

Christian schools offer excellent academic learning environments that prepare children to be leaders in their communities and servants to their fellow man. Check out the “Learning Environment” button here on the Lebanon Christian School web site. You will see that at every level of the organization, our desire is to love your child and assist you in the daunting task of developing a child that desires to live an abundant life for Christ, and claim eternal life through Him.
