Summary

This is part 2 of my episode, "Public, Private, or Homeschool: Thinking Through Your Child's Education (Part 1)." In this part, I talk about the widely varied types of Christian private school options available to parents, breaking them into four general categories: progressive Christian schools, nominally Christian schools, committed Christian schools with a mainstream educational philosophy, and committed Christian schools with an alternative educational philosophy. Additionally, I answer questions listeners submitted online, such as:
--How do you prevent your kids from being in "Christian bubble" if they aren't in public school?
--How do you discern if a "Christian" school is really Christian?
--How do you prevent your kids from being jaded by the nominal Christianity they are likely to encounter with classmates at a Christian school?
--What should you do if the administration and/or teachers at your current Christian school are leaning leftward?
--How much does a school's denomination matter?
...and more.

Note that I was originally going to discuss public school as well in part 2, but due to length, I've made this a stand alone episode. Part 3 will discuss public school and is forthcoming.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome to the Natasha Crane Podcast. Well, it's important to know that
0:11.0	this is part two of my episode Public, Private, or Home School
0:15.1	Thinking Through Your Child's Education.
0:17.2	In part one, I laid out six principals Christian Parents should consider when making educational
0:22.0	choices, and those
0:23.4	principles are absolutely crucial for understanding what I'm talking about
0:27.2	today so I'm not going to repeat them here I'm just going to point you there.
0:32.1	I also shared my thoughts on and experiences
0:34.6	with homeschooling in part one. So what I'm saying is if you haven't listened to
0:38.4	part one stop now go listen to that episode for context and then come back here.
0:44.0	In this part of the episode, I'm going to talk about Christian private schools.
0:48.0	I originally intended for this to be part two of two in which I covered both Christian private schools and public schools.
0:55.0	But after I drafted this episode, I realized that there was just so much to talk about with
0:59.1	Christian private schools alone that I decided to record this one as its own episode and then we'll have a
1:03.9	part three still to come in which I discuss my thoughts on public. So if you've
1:08.2	been waiting for that part of it I apologize that you'll have to wait a
1:11.7	little bit longer.
1:13.0	I've got a lot to go through here,
1:15.0	but I want to make a quick announcement first.
1:17.0	As a reminder, if you're in Arizona,

1:21.0	coming to Tucson on September 23rd.
