Not all Christians seeking to advance transformational education have the same priorities or methods. Please have a Berean attitude (Acts 17:11) when considering the content of this site and compare everything to the Scriptures. News, events and articles may highlight ideas that need to be confronted as well as adapted.
The news expressed in linked articles are included as potentially of interest to those involved in transformational education even though they do not necessarily reflect the values and views of the Centre.
ACSI Research conducted a survey of 2,300 U.S. member Christian schools in late April 2020. The U.S. survey collected real-time data on school closures, the transition to distance learning formats, current distance learning practices, and the financial impact of COVID-19. The survey also asked respondents about forecasting for the 2020-2021 school year, including enrollment projections, contingency budgets, and new distance learning opportunities being considered. The findings of the survey, as detailed in this report, point to the overall nimbleness and tenacity of Christian schools in responding to COVID-19. The findings also indicate the necessity of ongoing planning in the face of uncertainty for the next school year.
The International School Response to COVID-19 Survey Supplementary Report collected data from 5,500 international member schools. Among other things, we learned that our international school members responded very nimbly and rapidly to the pandemic. The report also shows some challenges facing international Christian schools that are unique in comparison to their US sister schools. You will need to have the US Christian Schools and COVID-19 Report handy to fully understand the international supplement.
People are reading the Bible more than ever these days—and based on a new survey, they need to! Only six percent of adults in this country have what George Barna defines as a "biblical worldview"—a shocker of a statistic that has more Christians wondering, what on earth are parents and churches teaching?
He's been in the business for more than 25 years—interviewing tens of thousands of people. And here's one thing George Barna has learned: No one has a pure worldview. It doesn't matter if their worldview is biblical, postmodernism, secular humanism, new age, mysticism, whatever it may be. To some degree, he says, "we all pick and choose things that make sense to us and feel good... [then] we wrap it all together in this unique package..." But the problem for Christians is, more and more of that package doesn't include the black and white truth of God's word.
