Making The Leap
The Only Christian School In Town
This episode might reflect one of the biggest "leapers" we've ever featured. Both geographically and in terms of educating her kids. Stephanie Murray was a young mother in Boston whose husband's work to her to Park City, Utah. She began by placing her kids in a Montessori school, before pulling them to homeschool. The Murray family quickly realized the need for a Christian school in their back yard andthe interest many other families had in what she was doing. It led her to create Telos Christian, and interestingly families of multiple faith backgrounds began to pour in. But how do you navigate a Biblically based curriculum in a town with many families who don't share those views and values? It's another inspiring story of someone making a way for Christian education in an environment where none exists.
