Find God’s Best for Your Child

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

If you’ve ever felt torn between homeschooling, Christian private school, or keeping your child in public school, you’re not alone.

Christian families across the country are asking hard questions and seeking faithful answers—especially as cultural norms shift further from God’s truth. This page will walk you through the options, concerns, and powerful opportunities God may be placing before you as a parent.

Why Christian Education Matters

Christian education isn’t just an academic alternative—it’s a foundation for lifelong faith.

Children spend more waking hours in school than anywhere else. Those hours are not neutral. They are being shaped—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Christian education provides:

A biblical worldview woven through every subject. Teachers and mentors who reinforce your family’s values. Clarity about God’s truth in a confused world. A firm foundation for their future, including adulthood and college. Protection from spiritual drift and cultural compromise

​You are not sheltering your child; you’re equipping them to stand strong in the truth.

Using State Vouchers or ESA Funds for Christian School

Many families don’t realize that they can access state education funds to send their children to private Christian schools. Through school choice programs—often called Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) or vouchers—you can redirect the money the state sets aside for your child’s public school education and use it instead for a school that reflects your faith and values.

What’s Really Being Taught in Public Schools

Today’s public schools are not the same as they were 10 years ago. In many districts, the curriculum reflects ideologies that directly conflict with a biblical worldview. Here’s what many Christian parents are now encountering:

Gender identity ideology taught in early grades

Comprehensive sex education introduced without full parental input

Identity-based group conflict replacing biblical unity

Moral relativism taught as truth: "what’s right for you" replaces God’s Word

Increasing hostility toward Christian values, often mocked or excluded

📊 Studies show that nearly 70% of Christian youth walk away from the faith after high school. Many have been slowly discipled by the culture instead of Christ; and by the time they reach adulthood, they no longer know what (or whom) they believe. Studies show that the main reason they loose their faith is due to skepticism of the Bible, which is taught in schools.

However ​If your child does stay in public school, they don’t have to walk alone. One of the best ways to support their faith is by helping them find or start a Christian club like an FCA-style lunch huddle, open to students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. These small groups meet once a week during lunch for prayer, a short devotion, and real conversation. Led by a parent, grandparent, teacher, or caring adult, they give kids and teens a place where they can be open about their faith and grow in it right inside their own school.

Lunch huddles are also a powerful way for students to find Christian friends who share their values. Having even a few godly peers can give your child the courage to live out their faith and the comfort of knowing they’re not alone. In a culture that’s drifting fast, these groups offer clarity, connection, and a Christ-centered community.

Hybrid Christian education blends part-time classroom instruction with at-home learning. It’s ideal for parents who want the faith-based benefits of Christian school with a flexible weekly rhythm.

Students attend school 2–3 days per week. Parents guide learning at home the other days.
