Who Needs a Christian Bubble?

Though not a term of endearment, “bubble” is not an entirely inapt description of the classical Christian school subculture, for classical Christian education creates educational ecosystems distinct from the world. Yet, when functioning properly, Christian schools should not close themselves off to the world, cloistering away teachers and students: though distinct from the surrounding culture, a healthy Christian school does indeed engage with the world from the perspective of the wisdom of the centuries and from the locus of a Christ-centered community.
