Equipping Parents With Valuable Resources

Are you concerned that your child’s faith and values will be negatively impacted in a public school? You are not alone. But, don’t look at your child’s school as a battlefield. Instead, see it as a garden where you can plant seeds of love and truth:

In your child’s lives (teaching them discernment) and;
In the lives of your child’s teachers (helping them understand how to create faith-friendly classrooms).

One challenge you will face is misinformation and fear among educators regarding the appropriate place for religion. But you can help clear up the confusion. Don’t miss out on how God might use you to help your school while helping your child develop morally, spiritually, and academically.

“Before we knew about Gateways, we prayed for the teachers, but now we are also helping them understand what they can do in the classroom.””
