How to Start a Christian
School Seminar
Whether you're thinking about starting a Christian
preschool, kindergarten, elementary, middle, or secondary school
sometime in the future or desire to open a school as soon as possible,
learning about successful Christian school ministry can better prepare you
to meet the needs in your community. This seminar provides you with an easy-to-follow
step-by-step plan for starting a successful Christian school.
Taught by Paul Richter, President
of Christian School Development and a Christian school specialist with 25
years of teaching and administrative experience, you will gain an
understanding of how to structure your school in order to achieve desired
goals. The seminar is often attended by pastors, Christian leaders,
teachers, homeschoolers, and school study teams. Everyone is welcome.
We cover the most important content in a one-day seminar that makes the most
of your time. You'll use what you learn throughout the new school
development process. Each participant receives a guidebook which contains
detailed information on seminar contents. You will also receive a CD with
sample by-laws, policy handbooks, and administrative forms. Everything you
need will be ready for quick reference long after the seminar is over.
Christian School Development brings together years
of research, experience, and resource materials on how to start a Christian
school in a church or community setting. Presented in a classroom format,
the New School Seminar is designed to provide everything necessary to get
your school up and running—in the right direction.
Read what others are saying about the seminar:
"The conference was everything we hoped it would
be. Very informative and helpful. Just the right amount of time. (We
could have gone on forever and not exhausted the subject matter, but
having to drive 4 hours in the A.M. and again in the P.M. made me
appreciate the schedule just the way you had it). Wonderful handouts.
Your delivery was very easy to understand and listen to. Our committee
met Sunday and we spent the whole time debriefing them on what we
learned. I am so thankful God called you to this ministry. We benefited
greatly, and pray God will grant you safety in your travels, and wish
you continued success."
Dan Mitchell, MD Thomasville, GA
"We have felt so overwhelmed in our committee at
church as we looked at beginning a Christian school. You have helped
greatly by giving us direction and guidance - by giving us ideas of
where and how to begin. We knew someone else had "done it" (started a
Christian school). We didn't need to "reinvent the wheel". Your
resources have been a great help. I feel like we have more focus on
where to begin the process. Thank-you so much!"
Dawn Swartz, Draper's Valley
Presbyterian Church in America, Draper, VA
"We enjoyed your seminar at our church so very
much. Thank you so much for spending the day with us. We have planned
out next year according to the timeline you showed us and are looking
forward to continuing to work with you as we progress with the
developmental process. Thanks again, Paul."
Gail Foster, Principal, Living
Faith Christian Center, Cherry Hill, NJ
"This was just so good! I was impressed with
the wealth of information and am more motivated to follow the
leading of the Lord. I learned much more than the nominal fee would
have bought for me. This seminar is invaluable...I recommend it
wholeheartedly!"
Marian Kennedy Brooks, Executive
Director, In My Heart Ministries, Washington, DC
