    Is faith-based education still relevant today?

Dr. Phil Cook, Executive Director of the North American Coalition for Christian Admissions Professionals (NACCAP), lends nearly 30 years of experience in the realm of faith-based education admissions to us in discussing these questions and more.

    Raising Our Children to be Leaders

    The Importance of Academic Rigor in the College Admissions Process

    With the recent changes to the college admissions landscape, academic rigor is perhaps more important than ever. The movement toward test-optional admissions has made the process more qualitative than quantitative. University and college counselors are not simply looking to see if an applicant has a certain test score or has properly completed the application. They are now reading the essays and transcripts more thoroughly, looking to see if students have challenged themselves throughout high school. This reality may leave students (and parents) wondering, what classes should I take in high school? How can I show colleges that I have challenged myself and am college-ready? Private college counseling expert Dr. Bethany Schweitzer offers wisdom and insight into this question and more. RESOURCES College Ready Worthington Christian School Affordability Guide

    Educational Freedom and the Nation's Report Card

    Education in the U.S. continues to undergo massive shifts at the state and federal levels. In Ohio, a new state tax-payer benefit supports many private schools. There is also legislation that will greatly expand educational freedom in Ohio, similar to recent educational changes in Arizona and West Virginia. Additionally, the U.S. recently released its first post-shutdown report card, indicating significant learning loss in the last three years. Troy McIntosh, Executive Director of the Ohio Christian Education Network, shares insights into these topics and offers parents a word of encouragement as they navigate their child's post-shutdown educational needs.
