There is perhaps no other institution that shapes the worldview of young people in North America than the school system.
For all faithful people, and particularly for Orthodox Christians, the impact of education if often more of a factor than even the Church in shaping future generations of adults.
In many instances, parents are unaware of the challenges schools pose to the faith and moral choices their young people will make. For instance, recent studies suggest that about 85% of students who attend Church regularly will have stopped practicing their faith by the time they reach College age.
In this part of our website, we will make available resources for Orthodox Christian and other concerned parents to assist in making informed choices regarding the education of their children, along with resources to help parents effectively confront the challenges presented in many schools.
It is our hope that these resources will provide a small help in the critical, life-shaping role of parents and families.
