In the last few years, government schools have come under closer scrutiny, and their effectiveness and efficiency have been called into question. For Christian parents, there are additional concerns, particularly the increasing secularization of public education and the progressive ideologies being pressed on students by some prominent school districts. Given that education is about training in virtue and the right ordering of our loves, is public education still a viable option for Christian families? 

Join Dell Cook and Andy Frye, Worldview Academy faculty members with long careers in Christian and public education, respectively, as they address this question with host Mike Schutt.
