A Valid Model

Our concept of “flourishing” is tailored to Christian schools, whose holistic expected student outcomes encompass learning and growth in the areas of spirituality, academics, community-mindedness, excellence, impact, and servanthood.

The Flourishing School Culture Model and Instrument were developed as exploratory tools to identify and validate a roadmap to flourishing for Christian schools.
