Christian schools are at a crossroads. The school choice movement has increasingly created the need for Christian schools to demonstrate their value proposition and distinctiveness. Building a Better School was written by Christian educators for Christian educators so that we may better understand our significance and build schools that demonstrate quality in our clearly articulated missions, through our governance structures, business practices, in our academic and co-curricular programs, and through our distinct sense of Christian community. While no two schools are or should be the same, Building a Better School reflects practices that will help your school as it seeks to impact your community and the world at large.
