What kind of Christian school are you called to be? What is your mission, and how do you ensure that it permeates everything your school does? Your school leadership is invited to work through soul-searching questions such as these alongside thought leader Bernard Bull. In this guide, Dr. Bull draws from decades of research and experience working in and with Christian schools to outline the steps schools must take and questions they must consider when striving for Christ-centered excellence. This thought-provoking guide provides a template for which your school's leaders, school board, or faculty can clarify your professional development plan, creating and sustaining a school that * is closely aligned with your mission; * clearly articulates what differentiates it from other options; * aligns its efforts and activities with Christian convictions; and * serve students and families with Christ-centered excellence.
