Christian Schools - anyone send/sent kids to one?

[horseymum]

There are plans to start a Christian school in our area and wonderered what people thought about them. It will be run by evangelical Christians, broadly following the National Curriculum but Christ-centred. DS1 is only 2 just now so we don't have to make any decisions yet but just interested to know good or bad experiences of sending children to a christian school. (not a C of E one)It will aim not to isolate children from the world but build chharacter and godliness to enable them to deal with it. Not decided yet if this is what we want, we only know that we are quite concerned about what they get taught in schools as well as behaviour issues etc, particularly at High School.

We have Muslim children at our CofE school.

Also, some Hindu shopkeepers approached the local Catholic priest and asked if their kids could go to the Catholic comprehensive because it was the only school whose children didn't shoplift from them.

I could go on for hours explaining how religion dampens down a child's natural sense of wonder and curiosity towards the universe.
