Private Schools
I toured a private, orthodox Catholic school recently. It was established by 1 man with the help of a few parents with a vision. The building is a disused parish school building, rented from the diocese for $1. There are no organized sports, no bureaucracy, no government requirements. There is a cost to the parents, but it is minimal.
Teachers are like-minded, Christian professors. All are highly educated and most are university professors, who are happy to teach their subjects 1-2 hours per day to focused, like-minded students, in a Christian environment - because they believe in the mission. Of course, the academics are excellent, with courses in advanced Calculus, Latin, etc...
In 3 years, the school has already grown to 80 students.

But how much are the tuition?
I’m old enough to remember when teachers would have been fired for indulging delusions of students........
Now it’s required.
I’ll bet even non-catholics want to send their kids there. In fact, I bet even non-Christian parents will want to send their kids there. Such a school is a powerful outreach to the unreached world.
I’ve seen it with similar schools elsewhere. Churches are missing it if they don’t consider schooling their own kids (and the kids of their town). What good does it do to send missionaries around the world and lose your own kids?
