"Taking Our Stand"
Reclaiming a Legacy of Christian Education...Reclaiming a Future for the Next Generation
“Like many other people, I have long been appalled by the low quality and continuing deterioration of American education.”
Those are the words that open Thomas Sowell’s preface to Inside American Education; words in 1993 that merely foreshadow the tragic depths to which American education has plummeted in the thirty years since they were written. Sowell was raising an alarm in 1993 for what has become a four-alarm dumpster fire in 2023. The ground that supports the structure has dramatically shifted, the foundation is full of holes, and the building must be condemned.
Every year, millions of Christian parents who feel as though they have no other viable option send their kids into that failed system. The system baits them with a free education, but in reality, it comes at far too high a cost. The system claims a harmless neutrality, but the ideologies and philosophies being taught there are anything but neutral. That parasitic system is taking our children by the hand and leading them where we do not want them to go. Our most precious stewardship from God is being adopted, and they come out the other side as children of the system.
We have to take a stand.
We have to provide a better way.
We Must Take a Stand!
We take our stand today by putting our heart, mind, and hand to that plow. We take responsibility. We generously allocate our time, our energy, and our resources to that work. If wisdom is justified by her children (Matthew 11:19), then let her be justified by those children we graduate as the future fruit of that work: young men and women prepared themselves to build with wisdom on the foundation that has been laid.
That good and enduring work for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ is the object and aim of Christus Victor, a Classical Christian School. Now is the time. The Lord has graciously placed the wind at our back. May He fill our sails with faith. Please join us in financially supporting the work.
