#365 Collaboration with Impact Christian Schools


Listen Later

This episode of the Engage and Equip podcast discusses the history, growth, and impact of Impact Christian Schools (ICS), a network of Christian schools in Wisconsin that emerged from High Point Church in Madison. The conversation between Nic Gibson, a pastor at High Point, and Chuck Moore, the executive director of ICS, reveals how the organization evolved from managing two schools to becoming a significant force in Christian education across Wisconsin, now working with 14 schools. The discussion emphasizes how ICS has leveraged Wisconsin's school choice program to make Christian education accessible to families regardless of their socioeconomic status, while maintaining high educational standards and Christian values. A key theme is how ICS has become uniquely positioned to help other Christian schools navigate the complex processes of establishment, accreditation, and joining the choice program - something particularly valuable as many parents seek alternatives to public education, especially after COVID-19 revealed more about what was happening in government schools. The conversation also explores the broader philosophical and practical reasons for Christian education, including the challenges faced by Christian students in public schools and the importance of creating educational environments that balance both structure and accommodation. The transcript concludes with a focus on ICS's newest venture - a high school on Madison's west side - and reflects on how the organization's success came through patient relationship-building, trust, and the bringing together of various essential skills and people at the right time.

 

Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.
