#8 Can graduates of Christian high schools gain acceptance into the college of their choice?
The track record of Christian school graduates is so well established that this is no longer a serious concern for most parents. My first response is to encourage parents to check with the admissions office of any college or university in which they are interested. I have never heard a negative response from an admission committee when asked about admitting graduates from Christian schools or home-schools. Another perspective is to remind ourselves of Matt. 6:33 and be confident that God’s best awaits our children if we teach them to put Him first.
Matthew 6:33 - “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
I had a professor whose wife was the guidance counselor at a Christian school and was frequently asked about the school’s college acceptance reputation. Though the graduates had been successful at major universities and service academics, she would conclude the discussion with a question, “what does it profit a man if he gained an Ivy League college but loses his soul?”
