The registration fee is $119 per person if you
register at least 14 days before the start of the seminar. Groups of 4 or more can register for $109 per
person if they meet the same early registration deadline of 14 days before

Christian school in your state. Topics include vision development,
current trends and issues, philosophy, what steps to take and when to take

several parent/student handbooks, by-laws for a Christian school, and
various administrative forms.

Who should attend this seminar?
Churches and organizations interested in
starting a Christian kindergarten, elementary, junior high, or high school
should send leadership teams, future teachers, administrator, and potential
board members. Home school families should send members of their school study
team. Individuals with a vision to start a school should bring a
partner who shares their vision.
Should I attend if I plan to start a preschool or
daycare?
The seminar is great for
preschool programs but does not provide the more specific laws relating to
operating a daycare.
Do you represent a particular church denomination,
school association, or curriculum company?
We do not represent any specific church or business, but have
worked with most denominational and non-denominational churches. The
seminar is mostly practical information but it does integrate scriptural
principles and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
