Student Support Services

Working closely with Christian schools and their families to support a vision of belonging for all.

Christian schools are strongest when they are authentic, complete representations of the Kingdom of God, places where all children feel welcome and have a sense of belonging, no matter their level of ability or disability. A community of belonging includes those with disabilities and specific needs in such a way that their presence is recognized for the blessing it is, while acknowledging that living in true community is not without its struggles and difficulties.
