Especially when my three children were younger, I always welcomed wisdom on how to raise them to honor and serve the Lord as adults. Dr. Larry Taylor, head of Prestonwood Christian Academy (Plano, Texas), has created a model for deliberately training young people; I’m sure you’ll find his ideas practical. —Dan
We’re raising our children in extremely challenging times: ungodly ways abound and loud voices hail those ways as right. How do you train children to live godly lives so when they’re old, they won’t depart from wisdom? Dr. Larry Taylor, head of Prestonwood Christian Academy (Plano, Texas), has developed a practical way to do that, and I’ve invited him to share it here. —Dan
When it comes to raising godly children, many factors are outside our control. Even so, there are several things we, as parents, can do that will go a long way toward reaching this goal. Dr. Larry Taylor, head of Prestonwood Christian Academy (Plano, Texas) and author of Running with the Horses, offers some insights here. —Dan

I am curious as to how many of your schools have a dedicated IT person for planning, training, and support? The reason I ask is that I am looking to connect with other IT support persons at other Christian schools. The challenges we face are similar, and yet very different than the private industry that I made most of my career home in the past 25 years.
Our school has a catered lunch program. I was wondering if any other schools have a lunch program and what type of program they use for student lunch accounts. I use excel to reconcile student accounts, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to organize and manage student accounts.
We were looking to create more social events (fun nights, field trips, pizza before school, musical, etc.). The purpose could be just to get the international students from other countries to become better friends and/or try to also get American students to attend to create connections. We were also thinking about creating an incentive system (whether to attend events, or to not have missing assignments in class, etc.). What social events have you done with your students?
