Is your school a “place of redemption”? Explain.
-
Our school is definitely a place of redemption. We allow students the opportunity to see their mistakes/sin and then repent from it. We allow them the opportunity to come out of their sin and restore relationships and their place within the culture of our school. There are consequences available, but all are restorative.
-
Yes. Our staff offers forgiveness and mercy to the students and direction. We strive to set an example for them to follow.

I am in a public school setting at the moment. From a Christian perspective of my secular environment, no it is not a place of redemption. Even if students make mistakes or are behind, we are still “required” to move on. For me that does not exemplify redemption. However, when I was in a Christian Preschool I will say it was most definitely a place of redemption and safety for students and families alike. We had students with special needs that did not always comply with “typical” requests. However, we gave them the same opportunities to be successful, but in a different way. Same with assessments, knowing our students so well allowed us to be able to assess students according to their ability. Christian Preschool is very different from any type of public school in that way.
-
Yes. We teach the Gospel and instruct our students in the ways of the Lord.
-
I think any place of God is a place of redemption because we are all learning about redemption and how God has so graciously given it to us.
