I resolve to….

As we look at the calendar year ahead it is some individual`s common practice to make resolutions. I thought it might be interesting if we made a communal resolution to inform ourselves and others about the long-term benefits of Christian education. Cardus has recently put out a study that compares the religious graduates from government funded and non-government funded religious schools in Canada. Some of the key highlights that we should be aware of are:

Stronger families

· More engaged in community groups

· More generous

· More focused on neighbourhood

· Express their identity through their work

· Produce civically engaged graduates

I think these results, seen through the filter of the mission and vision of the school, provide an excellent basis to have conversations with our friends and neighbours about the benefits of Christian education. If you would like to view the whole report and study you can visit their website for more information, https://www.cardus.ca/store/3564 .
