Brookhaven, PA — DiscoverChristianSchools.com is the newest communications initiative designed to assist parents in making the most informed decisions about their children’s education. DiscoverChristianSchools.com is a website that connects schools and parents together, and imparts the most current and reliable resources available where Christian education is concerned.

Founded by Tim Sierer, Vice President of the Mid-Atlantic Christian Schools Association and Harold Naylor, Director of Institutional Advancement for The Christian Academy, DiscoverChristianSchools.com seeks to provide parents with an abundance of school information via the website, DiscoverChristianSchools.com.

"DiscoverChristianSchools.com affords parents the opportunity to gainfully explore Christian education, by providing them with a plethora of resources, including the ability to find a local Christian school with the School Finder on the home page," stated Tim Sierer. “In over two decades of working in the field of education, I’ve been asked virtually every question imaginable by parents, regarding the quality of a Christian education for their children. Parents are extremely concerned today about what their children are learning in school, and rightfully so. DiscoverChristianSchools.com aims to provide these answers and put parents’ minds at ease. We hope that parents will spend some serious time thinking through the implications of this single decision regarding their children’s education that will impact their children for the rest of their lives.”

Big Ideas to Consider:

1. There are basically two kingdoms: a kingdom of light and a kingdom of darkness. It seems strange to have those who walk in darkness educate children of light. It doesn't fit.

2. If Jesus Christ is Lord, then He is Lord of all. We cannot divide things into secular and sacred.

3. All truth is God's truth, and God's Word sheds light on our path. Only in His light can we see light. Education is not focused on possibilities but on certainties found in God's Word.

4. Deuteronomy 6 tells parents that, in all they do, they should provide a godly education 24/7.

5. Three key institutions that shape a child are the home, the church and the school. Children are served best when all three institutions point them in the same direction.

6. Only an education that has the liberty to address the whole child -- social, intellectual, emotional, physical AND spiritual -- reaches the possibility of excellence.

7. The best preparation for effective service is to be well grounded in one's mind before direct engagement of the culture.
