Worldview/Scholar/Student Leadership Track

Presented by Dan Panetti, Esq.

In the book of Jeremiah, God asks the prophet what he sees.  When Jeremiah answers correctly twice, God commissions him for service.  God wanted to hear that Jeremiah, like the sons of Issachar, understood the times and had the depth and wisdom to speak for the Lord.  Are our Christian schools today producing thoughtful, intelligent, and wise Christian leaders for the next generation or are students today cultural consumers, adrift in Huxley’s Brave New World without the anchor of God’s Word to withstand the storm?  How can we equip our students to think critically and Christianly about the world around them?  This module will address this issue and give insight into some practical examples on how schools can equip the next generation of students so they will not be put to shame when they face their enemies in the gate (Psalm 127:5).

Student Leadership is essential to fulfilling the philosophy of the Kingdom Education. Student Leadership Institute (SLi) is unlike any other leadership program, SLi is truly a premier training ground for students to gain life-long leadership skills. Within the Student Leadership Module you will explore the program of SLi and how it has the potential to transform the culture within the hallways of your school. Developing students who can lead today should be a priority for Christian School educators
