Christian schools are wonderful faith-filled communities, where children are cared for and thrive.
Activists are working tirelessly to misrepresent Christian schools and stop them from influencing the next generation for Christ.
They will not stop. They oppose biblical truth.
People like you who are, or have been, the beneficiaries of Christian schooling should speak up now to defend Christian schools. If you don’t, the mission of Christian schools could be thwarted. They may even be shut down.
You have the right to choose an education for your child that reflects your Christian beliefs. This is a key part of the right to freedom of religion that is enshrined in international law.
If you, your child, or grandchild has had a positive experience at a Christian school – recently or in the past – please share a few words to say so.
Thank you for standing up for our Christian schools!

I did my entire schooling in a Christian environment, and it was wonderful. I was taught the value of, and responsibility to engage all people with respect, integrity and servanthood. I was encouraged in my beliefs and saw how they should benefit those around me. I received an excellent education and benefitted from many mentoring and personal development opportunities provided.
Our children have grown so much in their love for God, love for others and the understanding of why they are so valuable. This is because of the wonderful biblical teachings within their school curriculum. The emphasis on obedience to God and living like Jesus makes a huge difference in the overall school culture and interactions between children. Their own value and self worth are lifted as they are taught the truth of who created them, their purpose and a powerful future with Jesus that changes lives.
Around 1986, several Christian families, including me, decided to begin a parent controlled Christian school... it had approximately 50 students to start with, and demountable buildings and very little else. That school grew into what is now Kingsway Christian College with more than 1,000 kids from kindergarten to Year 12. 3 of my children attended, and now their children, my grandchildren, are graduating from this wonderful school, which originated from the Christian vision and principles of families who worship God and followed His Son, 36 years ago…
I attended an independent Christian school from year 5 to year 12 and it provided me with a high quality education. I learnt skills in numeracy, literacy, communication and everything in between. Adolescence is a very impressionable, formative season and attending a faithful Christian school was absolutely pivotal in showing me what it means to be to be a kind and active member of society. Having firm, absolute morals and biblical truth knitted into the inner workings of the school provided the firm foundation that young people need to thrive. Christian schools are Christian and should be allowed to align with their faith, just like political groups are political and are allowed to align with their own beliefs.
As Christians, we are called to be light in the darkness and there may also be some children who are exposed to the Gospel at school. In enrolling their children in a Christian school, parents must accept that the bible will be a foundation for teaching their children how to live life.
