Preferred term

Christian day schools  

Definition

  • The term Christian day school is used to distinguish the diverse elementary and secondary institutions founded by evangelical and fundamentalist Protestants since the late 1960s from older schools established by Protestant denominations, such as the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, that often date to the 19th century. Once among the most ardent supporters of public education, since the mid-1960s a growing number of conservative Protestants have dissented from major trends in American culture and its school systems.
