Christian Schools
Christian schools in Canada have a history dating back several generations. Once dismissed as fringe, many Christian schools are now highly regarded and sought out by people looking for an alternative to public education.
Aside from teaching children basic Biblical beliefs and providing them with a moral grounding, Christian schools have acquired a reputation among some people for providing richer curricula taught by dedicated, caring educators. On average, students from Christian schools outperform students from public schools on standardized tests and college entrance exams.

For many Christian parents, sending their children to a Christian school means sending them to a school where the community shares their values. This is probably the number one reason for and benefit of sending your child to a Christian school.
Many parents also feel that their children are safer in a Christian school. There is likely to be no tolerance for violence or verbal abuse and there is likely to be far less sexuality or immorality. In general, their classmates are more likely to come from 'strong' homes.
