Benefits of a Christian Education

Education, in any form, is an important investment.   Among the many factors families face in choosing a school is the question of the value -- value for the student and family in both the short and long-term.

The value of a Christian education manifests throughout a lifetime and begins by partnering with families to create a strong foundation for their child.   The sense of extended family at Immanuel Lutheran in Crystal Lake further enhances a quality, faith-based education.

“We are definitely a family,” says principal John Meulendyke. “Our teachers treat these children as if they are their own children. We have strong, great relationships with our families.”

Christian education supports the family in many ways. The biblical-based learning teaches each student strong moral values that translate to better decision making as they apply the Word of God in their everyday lives.

Spiritual and personal growth is fostered for Immanuel students in a safe, selfless classroom environment that cares for the whole-child.   Teachers and staff model Christian behavior that also supports relational growth and maturity.

“We do three things that we really put a strong focus on,” Meulendyke continues. “Academic excellence, relationally-driven learning, and Christ-centeredness. Those are the three things that really make us an educational institution like none other in the area.”

The process of learning and developing through faith-based values can be spiritually and personally enriching. These are just some ways in which students and their families can benefit from seeking out and embracing a Christian education.
