*I don't necessarily agree with her example of "brightest minds" in reason 2. The examples she gives, while maybe a success in the world's eyes, to my knowledge are not Christians (maybe Barbara Bush?). There is also a big difference between Christian schools and private (only) schools. Godly morality and character will not necessarily be taught in a private (only) school.

If you’re concerned that your child isn’t getting the one-on-one attention she needs in an over-crowded classroom, smaller classes focusing on Christ’s teachings as well as academic learning may be a better choice.
- They’re Impressed With the Results of Christian Schools – Some of the brightest minds in the world have had a private school education.
