Interview 80 - The Benefits of a Christian School Education

Our guest today is Cléa Rathbun, the wife of our Associate Editor for the May/June edition of FrontLine. The theme of this issue was “The Christian School Revival” and we will conclude our podcasts on this edition with this episode.Cléa’s article was called, “The Benefits of a Christian School Education.” Her article discusses Christian education mostly from a parent’s perspective, although she has experience as an educator herself.The big thing we talk about is “indoctrination” and how worldviews and philosophy affect the education that teachers deliver. This is true in the public and the Christian setting. You can’t escape worldview.When it comes to our own kids, the primary responsibility for their education lies with us as parents. The school and church are secondary. Still, if at all possible, we should consider how our schools line up with our own philosophy and how they can help or hurt or efforts at raising our kids.Cléa has a unique perspective on this as you will find when she tells you about her background in just a moment.Cléa’s article is available on our Substack right away for paying subscribers. We have previews for everyone else.
