I have often said that there is no neutral education. All education, whether public or private, is driven by and advocates for a particular worldview. It may be overt or subtle, but it is there. FRCS holds to a biblically-based worldview; public schools, charter or otherwise, must hold to a worldview based in secular humanism. Schools in the public sector have stripped away any vestiges of faith-based learning in order to present a form of education and reasoning that is palatable to a highly pluralistic society, and this worldview is far more dangerous to our children than any content that might be presented in a classroom. It is relatively easy to correct false teaching about the origins of man or the sanctity of life, but what about the subtler, and potentially more destructive, faulty worldview behind the reasoning of such teachings? It is much harder to spot and infinitely harder to uproot once planted.

The danger lies in what a secularized version of education communicates to the learners: that truths about the world can have meaning apart from God and the Christian worldview. This leaves students trying to answer essential worldview questions void of the truth about the fallen nature of man, an eternal God, or a scripturally-based objective morality. That is the beautiful strength of a Christian liberal arts education at FRCS. We have the privilege of answering those essential questions with the Truth as our guide.
