Oh its not to attend school that I'm asking... It's to teach! I want to know if I can serve in a Christian school instead of a Public one since they might get on my case of I speak about God.. but who knows it might be better to go undercover in a Public school and makes disciples.. lol :blink:

you know there are a bunch of christian schools in the GTA too, right?

Yeah I saw one and didn't like it. Do you have any recommendations?

Bro, one of the worst examples of evil I ever saw happened here. There was an atheist who posted here and he admitted to being a High School Teacher. One of his goals was to find the kids who were believers and then to undermine their Faith. :24:

An undercover Brother wouldn't be a bad thing in the public schools around here. :blink:

We should start a secret society of undercover teachers lol...

Are there Christian School Boards? In Toronto the major School Boards are either Public or Catholic both are equally large in size. Is it the same in the US? What kind of School Systems are out there?

Our school boards are secular for public schools. Private and religious academies and schools set their own policies (outside of legal issues.)

Are religious academies any good? Are they widely accepted? Do students pay to attend them? How big are they?

Well, three of my grandchildren attend Christian academies but...they're 5 and 6 years old! They seem to be ahead of other kids their ages though. I had two nieces that went through school in one and they graduated with honors. Yes, you do have to pay for them but scholarships and grants are available. It's $6,000 per year (per student), on the average, here in Houston. Don't be discouraged by that though; there's always a way. Have you applied for a foreign student visa from the U.S.?

You have Grandkids? :blink:

Well yeah; I was a grandmother at 36 and I'm 45 now so my oldest one will turn nine this summer. You didn't realize because my cane's in the shop and I LIVE on Geritol! :noidea:

I understand how you feel, Blien. I'd rather be working at a Christian college for the same reason.

But Dave also has a good point.

In my anatomy & physiology labs, when describing function, I will say things like, "The muscle cells are designed to contract and expand." Subtle, but it works.

christian schools are not perfect places to work either, blien. my brother and sister-in-law both worked as teachers for a private christian school for awhile. the gossip, the politics, the greed, the back-stabbing among peers was just as prevalent in that school as it had been in the public schools they'd taught at. it made them more miserable working in that environment BECAUSE it was supposed to be a christian workplace. my sister-in-law finally got fired because of some big stink that had little resemblance to truth... and shortly after, my brother quit because of it all.

I can relate.. it's been hard for me to find a good church to attend for (not the same but) similar reasons.. I guess we pump up our expectations of each other when we are around believers.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
