Christian Schools Blogsite Discussion

Around the world there is a wonderful diversity of Christian schools. This blogsite includes articles and promotional videos for, and about, Christian schools. The inclusion of material is not an endorsement.

Hopefully these articles, videos and examples from around the world will help parents better understand the different visions of Christian schools. The goal is for parents to be better equipped to ask questions. It may help Christian schools evaluate what messages they are sending out to their community.

Hutt Valley Christian School New Zealand

Tuesday, August 02, 2011

Hutt Valley Christian School created this promotional video in 2010. The video tells nothing of the school facilities. It doesn't have any photos or video. It is simply a voiceover with text on the screen. There are even some gaps where nothing is on the screen.  

While this approach is not recommended it does allow a clear message of the vision of the school to be communicated. It shows what can be done without even using a video camera. The video is clearly directed at parents not students. It addresses the amount of time that parents spend with their children compared to other influencers. They believe they have a scriptural mandate and that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

The video explains they do not have a government curriculum which gives them a high degree of control of what they teach. The school is therefore funded by school fees - not government - yet they claim to offer some of the lowest private school fees and are willing to help families who may still consider it too expensive.

The school welcomes Christian believers from any church.
