With CRT, LGBTQ Issues, ‘Woke’ Worries, New Christian Alternative Could Catch Fire
Christian parents beleaguered by the public school system and looking for alternatives have a new option: Covenant Journey Academy. The K-12 school, which is available online, is unlike most other education options in that it serves as a full-service online school, a supplemental homeschool curriculum, or even the baseline building block for a physical church school.
Mat Staver, chairman of Christian organization Liberty Counsel and founder and chancellor of Covenant Journey Academy, told CBN’s Faithwire plans for Covenant Journey Academy have been underway for years, with the school recently making its official debut. Recent concerns over indoctrination in education, among other issues, have fueled interest in the online institution. And the chaos brought on by COVID only exacerbated these factors.
“One of the things that we’ve seen is a deterioration of the education system beginning in kindergarten, and, obviously, [with] our work at Liberty Council, we’ve seen the indoctrination of the wokeness” Staver said. “The critical race theory, the LGBTQ indoctrination agenda that’s being pushed on the young people.”
The attorney looked back at his own experience as dean of the law school at Liberty University, which he also helped found, and discussed the importance of thinking through every subject matter and how it should be taught from a Christian worldview. Unfortunately, he said this isn’t always the approach, even at schools purporting to hold a biblical worldview. Staver said he found “a lot of Christian schools, whether they’re at the graduate level or K through 12 and may be Christian in name … they’re not thinking biblically [for] each one of these courses [in] how to integrate them.”
Covenant Journey Academy, which launched with 150 courses taught by Christian-certified teachers trained in biblical worldview, hopes to change these dynamics and better prepare students by presenting content through a faith lens. Watch Staver explain.
