What Kind of School is Right for Your Child–
Christian or Public?
People often spend a lot of time buying a car, a house, or anything of real value to them. They compare the advantages and disadvantages of each option and try hard to make a choice they will not regret later.
Here is a list to help you compare Christian with public education so you can choose a school that will be right for your child–one that will honor the Lord and save you from perhaps the biggest regret of all.
