The Landscape of Christian Education
The landscape of K-12 education in America is fundamentally shifting. From 2016 to 2023 alone, over twenty new school choice programs were launched across the U.S., significantly expanding access to custom and innovative education options.
With new states following the trend throughout 2024 and billions of dollars in new, flexible K-12 scholarships available to families, K-12 education will never look the same.
The availability of Christian education seats fails to meet the surging demand, presenting an urgent need for our churches and schools to rise to the occasion.
We are SOARING Educational Services.
We are the LAUNCHPAD for the future of Christian education, one new school at a time!
We want to inspire and create new Christian education seats through philanthropy, practical expert guidance, innovation, and thought leadership.
