What School?

I have been hearing this question a lot lately..  What school should I go to?

FIRST, how about Palm View?  A number of parents are still excited about the potential for Palm View continuing next year under new leadership.  I have been speaking to prospective parents at Stater Brothers, Harris GMC (Yes, they are still open too!) and around the community.  Ask your friends to register before May 4th, and to your part -- pay your bill on time!

SECOND, if not Palm View, then who?

First, if you value a quality Christian education with the same high teacher quality and academic standards, there are only a handful of choices in the area.  Second, the one thing that most parents overlook is the sustainability and viability of a Christian school when they make their choice.  Just as one of the group of parents that used to be part of Brethren.  Third, no one takes a look at the national trends and other tell-tale signs that a school might be in danger of closing.  Vance Nichols, a long time ACSI administrator has been doing research on this for several years.

The current trends indicate that church sponsored schools under 120 students in the US are rapidly closing.  Schools are 100 are in imminent danger of closing.  The thought many schools have is to outlast the other -- but that usually only keeps them open 1 year longer.  That is why we attempted a quality merger with another school in order to keep affordable Christian education in Whittier for the long term.

We have negotiated deep discounts, additional financial aid, and potential jobs for our teachers at one of the three local Christian schools whom I beleive will still be here for the next ten years.  That will be publically announced on Wednesday, pending the outcome of the May 4th board meeting.

If you would like more information, please contact me directly.

Thank you.
