These schools offer a choice that will expose kids to a different way of engaging with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In fact, <a href="http://www.teen-boarding-school.com/teen-boarding-schools/christian-boarding-schools-and-troubled-teens.html" rel="nofollow">Christian boarding schools</a> could serve to intensify their faith in God because such schools are designed to breed an intellectual and moderated environment according to their high standard of spiritual and academic practice.Mia Carmel Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884244719160927098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-50587284049357314112009-01-19T23:20:00.000-05:002009-01-19T23:20:00.000-05:00We sent our son to Heartlight, which is recommende...We sent our son to Heartlight, which is recommended by people like Gary Smalley, John Trent, Tim Kimmel and so many other.

They try to bring bible based thoughts in the mind of their students for their long lasting recovery. <BR/>http://www.restoreteens.com/Rajput-Poojahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721370917242501915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-11074030339576547862008-06-21T16:31:00.000-04:002008-06-21T16:31:00.000-04:00The musing of this blog posting here are really no...The musing of this blog posting here are really not on point. As a matter of fact, the students attending Cono, at any rate, fall into the very category that the posting repeatedly mentions it is not talking about. They come from families in crisis; they come from many types of situations where families are at the end of their ropes and options before students end up separated from their families for other reasons. Sometimes the students have been in various types of dangers even at home. There clearly is an important role for schools such as Cono to play in the raising and education of Christian children, even if it represents something outside the norm.<BR/><BR/>The comments by the occasional referee is based on a misperception. Very few students come to Cono as failed adoptions, and certainly not Asians. Thepopulation of Asians at Cono (the numbers vary from year to year), have families in Korea sometimes in the US, and even from other countries to which they have immigrated. Their parents have chosen to send them to school in the US. You may not agree with their reasons, in this case (in some cases is a legitimate lack of opportunity in the home country); however, other international students have come as refuges from political persecutions and religious dangers.<BR/><BR/>Finally, the simplistic attitude of this posting does not consider at what age it might be appropriate for young people to begin stages of independent living. While we somehow feel that 18 and graduation from high school is a magic number, historically, this would be looked on as rather old. And why 18? Why not 20? Young people in that age bracket are certainly not usually fully independent in their ability to support themselves and most are markedly immature in many ways. Yet the same people who would consider a Christian boarding school as oxymoronic, would deplore the family who allows the 24 year old to live at home, as somehow not doing what they should be doing by making them get out on their own to earn their own way in life, sometimes to the great harm of the young adult. In this vein, there are numerous young people in the 16-18 year old bracket who are capable of beginning that transition, and a significant number of Cono students who fit that. In fact, it is not unheard of for a European student to have finished school and to come for a year of schooling in the US before college.<BR/><BR/>All this said, I agree that it is the responsiblity of parents, with the support of their local churches to raise their children within the context of their homes. Student referals often come from pastors who work closely with families and know when the appropriate time to separate children come. And in many cases, Cono students have short tenures at school, lasting a year or less, while families regroup.Andy Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881879816935262610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-11639784984232252562008-05-05T07:11:00.000-04:002008-05-05T07:11:00.000-04:00Learning’s of Christ are very helpful for spiritua...Learning’s of Christ are very helpful for spiritual development of students.

The Christian family <I>is</I> the "fountain of grace." The family unit, in the context of the local church, is the primary means of grace in the lives of young people. It is to be the theological community God intended it to be. It is to be the community which demonstrates the gospel of reconciliation through Biblical relationships between parents and youth, between pastors and youth, and between youth and other youth. This is Biblical New Testament Christianity, no matter how much it differs from the world.Evan Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287475721156396697noreply@blogger.com
