Why Choose Open Door Christian Schools?

Begin with the end in mind…
Time flies when you’re raising children.
One day you’re getting them ready for preschool. Soon you’re driving in the car pool taking them to practices, field trips, and games. Before you know it, graduation is around the corner. The time you have to teach, inspire, and influence your child is short.

Like most parents, you want your children to excel in this world—academically, personally, and professionally. But Christian parents have the higher goal of raising children who will choose to live for Christ.

However, you have a choice too. Your home and your church are powerful influences upon your children to draw them closer to God and point them in the right direction. But what about school? What difference could it make if all the hours spent in school and at school activities reinforced what you are trying to instill at home and church? What if your children could experience the fun and excitement of traditional school activities and sports in the context of faith? What if the teachers were concerned about your children’s salvation and discipleship as well as their full academic potential? 

How could Open Door Christian Schools make a difference in your child’s life?
As you make the choices that will impact your child’s life forever, consider what Open Door Christian Schools (ODCS) has to offer.
