*Are Canadian families running out of options when it comes to education?* Across the nation, parents are asking an important question: *Is the current education system truly helping our children thrive — academically, emotionally, and spiritually?*
In this important conversation, we are joined by *Greg Needham and Laurelyn Mercer* from the *Canadian Christian Education Movement* to explore the growing shift toward *faith-based and alternative education models in Canada* — and why more families are choosing them.
Together, they discuss why *education is discipleship*, how worldview shapes a child’s future, and what practical options exist for families and churches right now.
