    Interview | No Cell Phones, More Discipleship: How The Woodlands Christian Academy Put Mission First

    Last year, The Woodlands Christian Academy in Texas made a bold move: removing student cell phones from campus life. It wasn’t just about minimizing distractions — it was about discipleship, worldview formation, and aligning daily school life with their mission. In this episode of Teach Biblically, Stephen Clark and Aaron Marez share the practical steps, communication strategies, and biblical convictions that shaped the rollout of their no-cell-phone policy. We discuss how it has impacted student relationships, classroom focus, and even the spiritual climate on campus — and why other Christian schools should consider similar steps. Whether you’re a school leader grappling with technology policies or a teacher seeking to keep your classroom centered on Christ in a screen-saturated world, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical tools. Key Takeaways Mission drives policy. How the Woodlands Christian Academy connected a phone policy to its biblical worldview and discipleship goals. Practical rollout steps. How to prepare faculty, students, and parents for a major culture shift. Communication strategies. How to explain the why in a way that builds unity and buy-in. Worldview formation in action. The habits and character traits students are developing without constant phone access. Lessons learned. What worked, what they would change, and advice for schools considering a similar move.
