Since the Coronavirus outbreak, Renewanation has seen an increasingly strong interest from churches desiring to launch Christian schools. It isn’t just the Coronavirus, however, that is driving this interest.
In response,
Renewanation is currently working on a “Micro School Start-up Program" that
will help hundreds of churches (hopefully thousands of them) to get God-honoring
micro schools up and running quickly and efficiently for their communities. It's Renewanation's own "operation warp-speed."
What’s a
“micro school?”
Micro schools
are not a new concept. Bill Gates has been involved in launching them around
the world, and many see this approach as the “wave of the future” for education.
Micro schools have been described as a “reinvention of the one-room school
house.” Class sizes are typically under 10-15 students. The term “Pandemic Pod”
has also been used to describe this phenomenon. One is reminded of that old
saying, “necessity is the mother of invention.”
Renewanation strongly believes the micro school format provides a legitimate and effective means for churches of all sizes to get involved in educating children with relatively little financial outlay. The current plan is for Renewanation’s Micro School Start-Up Program to work hand in hand with the new virtual school Renewanation launched last September, called, iLumenEd Academy.
Renewanation has a vision for thousands (hopefully hundreds of thousands) of children to receive a True education through Christ-centered micro schools offered via churches across the country over the coming decade.
Renewanation sees micro schools in which
math, science, history and literature are all viewed in the context of
something much bigger than math, science, history and literature: the context of the Bigger
Picture of True Reality called a "Biblical Worldview." Our
nation must get back to this kind of education.
To
assist in getting the Micro School Start-up Program going, Renewanation brought a veteran
school startup specialist onto their development team to help put together a package which will allow any church, large of
small, from A-Z, to start a micro school as easily and effectively as possible.
For this
vision, Renewanation has launched a $100,000 fund-raising effort to get things
off the launching pad. It is the hope and goal of Renewanation to provide this
service and package to churches at almost no cost.
