C ristian school may open On Friday, January 30 a Wingham and District Chris- tian High School Society was forte- It is hoped that a Gran High School will be started in Winghatn in September of 1982. Present plans call for this to be an in- terdenotninational school run by concerned Christian parents. In the past couple of mon- ths a number of people from the Harriston-Palmerston area met to prepare the groundwork for the meeting mentioned above. The work of these people bore fruit on January.30 when at least 125 people showed up to form the Christian High School Socie- ty. It is hoped that this high school will be able to serve students within a 35 mile radius from Wingham. At the above mentioned meeting parents were pre- sent Ceres vnt ig-.te-. coin- munities of Clinton, Goderich, Blyth, Wingham, Lucknow, Kincardine, Har- riston, Palmerston and Listowel.

Many may wonder why this Christian High School is being set up. Christians see a number of distressing things in the public high school- But that, of course, is a rather negative basis for anything 1 especially since Christian schools also have their faults 1. A Christian High School is being set up to teach children a biblically - oriented perspective of the universe and everything in it. It is being set up out of concern for the souls of the children.

That would in- clude the field of education. A Christian education does not mean a regular cur- riculum with Bible reading and prayer attached- it does not mean- that Bible names and verses are thrown in- discriminately into the sub- ject matter with the hope that the result is Christian education. It means instead, a curriculum taught from a Christian perspective by committed Christians. The principles and methods of education are also Christian in orientation.
