Your DiscoverChristianSchools.com Membership

We know...this is a tough financial time for Christian schools.

We know...maintaining and growing enrollment is critical to Christian schools.

We know...families in today's culture are tempted to undervalue Christian education.

Did you know that over 80% of Christian parents in this country choose to enroll their school-age children in schools other than Christian schools?  Have you ever asked yourself why families choose not to enroll in your school?  We have all heard the excuses -- from "I can't afford it," to "My child has a Christian teacher in the public school this year, so it's okay," to "I went to public school, and I turned out okay."  Do these ways of thinking constitute a legitimate rationale for parents to submit their most prized gifts -- their children -- to an educational system that is anything but "religiously neutral"?

We want to stand with your school in this battle!  NCSAA is more than an athletic association; we are a Christian school association, and we are passionate about Christian education.

Because we know your school plays a critical role in a community and a culture that is desperate for a truly Christ-centered view of life and learning, we've committed to a new set of membership benefits this year -- in order to help you communicate the uniqueness and value of Christian education with families in your community, as well as introduce them more effectively to what your school has to offer!

Introducing, at the start of the 2010-11 school year, a significant new partnership:

AND

Included in your annual NCSAA membership is a complimentary membership to DiscoverChristianSchools.com -- a benefit that is worth more than the cost of your entire NCSAA membership!

DiscoverChristianSchools.com is an organization committed to engaging parents in a dialogue concerning God's truth about their children's education and future, provoking parents to think Biblically about their children's education, inspiring parents to give their children the best, and connecting parents with the right Christian school.

The DCS web site is an excellent resource that introduces families to the world of Christ-centered education and provides information and resources to help families make a wise decision about educating their children.

How can this DiscoverChristianSchools.com membership help your school?

Your DCS membership provides a profile in the online School Finder (which enables families who visit the web site to find your school, access your profile, and follow a direct link to your school's web site).  In addition, we've suggested a number of ways that your school can employ the vast array of online resources to better communicate with families about the importance of Christian education (see below), and NCSAA's contribution to provide your school's DCS membership widens the geographic range of the Christian education radio advertising that DCS is able to provide.

How can your school use DiscoverChristianSchools.com to communicate with the local community?

NCSAA and DCS partner to offer specific resources to help you direct families in your local community to the DiscoverChristianSchools.com website.  Among these are banners to display on school property (to attract the attention of local passersby), flyers to distribute and hang throughout your local area (churches, community centers, etc), excellent bulletin inserts to share with local churches, and suggestions to community relationship-building and events that may provide opportunity to serve and communicate with families.

How can you order banners, flyers, and bulletin inserts?

Flyers and bulletin inserts can be downloaded (COMING SOON) for local printing (or ordered "at-cost" from NCSAA or DCS), and banners are available at a very low "at-cost" price (to cover our printing and shipping costs).  Call us at 724-846-2764 for more information!
