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!

My son just said yesterday how much he enjoyed attending a Christian school. He said they have so many more opportunities to do fun past times where longterm friendships were developed. He has a solid foundation in the Word of God which helped him find his way, he is now a school teacher in the public system because he wants to give back to those who don't have the same support.
I attended a Christ-centred private school and enjoyed it so much I have sent my own children to one. I believe its important to have a school and teachers who share the same faith as I do. It helps build a foundation of good values and morals in my children that have done us well for thousands of years and will continue to do so. These are the most important learning years of my children's lives so to have regular exposure to biblical truth combined with their education will set them up to be moral adults.
I am so glad I sent my children to Donvale for their secondary years. Terrifically caring, supportive, prayerful. Christianity wasn’t pushed hard but gently came through shown through love as well as genuine care. Great friends were found. A Christian school has that something extra as it aligns with our faith and morals and standards. Any school can teach curriculum but not all can grow people in faith and be outward-looking citizen’s of the world.
After going to "Christian" schools that have only been Christian in name, it really made a difference when I went to BCC who stood up for what they believed in. There was no fear to share my beliefs and we could discuss issues like gay marriage and transgender issues with our teachers respectfully. I really felt that my teachers cared about me and cared about my spiritual health. If I stayed in the other school I know I wouldn't have become the strong young woman I am today.
It was important that my teachers supported my growth into adulthood from a Biblical worldview and took a Christ-centered approach to dealing with issues every child faces. Impressionable children need a solid foundation to support the development of their mind as well as their body, and my school attempted, with some success, to provide that. It has benefited me in a significant, long-term way.
