Marks of a Healthy Christian School
"We must produce quality Christian schools. We must dedicate ourselves to building cultures in schools that reflect the Lord Jesus Christ and His love for children...I believe that those marks of a healthy school, a school of quality, can be identified, thoroughly defined, and developed if improvement is needed."
These statements from the first chapter of Marks of a Healthy Christian School capture the essence of the book and the heart of the author. Dr. Phil Suiter begins with foundational biblical truths, analyzes current research, and draws from his more than fifty years of experience in education to identify and define nine marks of school health. These marks are standards of quality that describe schools where principals, teachers, and parents partner to produce students who are spiritually vibrant, who are academically excellent, and who embrace a worldview based on the truth that Jesus came to establish. The reader searching for guidance for an ailing school will find that these marks serve as goals to strive toward, ideals that characterize healthy, vibrant schools and all of those working in Christian school ministry who “press towards the mark.”
