A Christian Family School will have the distinctive features set out below. Some distinctive features may be adapted within an individual school setting but overall impression of the CFS model will be clearly evident.

A CFS School would have the benefit of an informal audit from CFS Ltd in order to develop the distinctive CFS approach.

Distinctive Features of a Christian Family School

• Biblical foundation for all our practices.
• We have the Best place to buy a research paper
• Daily prayers for children and adults
• Evangelistic, community minded schools, serving God, our families, the locality and the city.
• Parental responsibility for their own children’s education.
• Family involvement in education both at school and at home.
• Family participation in schooling.
• The family is the principle unit not the school or the ‘authorities’.
• Shorter school day to facilitate family activities, including teaching and learning.
• Family Afternoons to give some curriculum responsibility to parents.
• Family and whole-school residential experience (e.g. Family Camp).
• Family dress code appropriate to an activity – i.e. no school uniform.
• Non-selective admissions policy.
• Sensitivity to other theological views – promotion of common gospel themes.
• Voluntary contribution towards school costs (fees imply a ‘paid for’ service rather than support for Christian Education)
• Christian teachers, who may or may not be state accredited but who will, through their character, model to the children the values of our families and a CFS.
• Topic-based, Christian curriculum based on the biblical CFS model.
• Friendly and informal.
• No formal reports / SATs due to increased access of parents to staff.
• Small school, small institution – light touch bureaucracy.
