Igniting Hearts and Minds: A Kingdom Approach to Student Engagement
Truly engaged students aren’t just attentive—they’re moving from thriving to flourishing as they step into the God-given purpose for their lives. In this interactive session, we’ll explore how fostering curiosity, ownership, and real-world application can transform student engagement in Christian schools. Through the story of how Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy (CHCA) launched an entrepreneurial program that reignited student ownership and motivation, we’ll unpack practical ways to cultivate Christ-centered engagement, measure growth beyond academics, and overcome common barriers.
Randy Brunk, NextEd Partner and previous Head at CHCA, and Stephen Carter of SeedTree Group, who began the program at CHCA, will lead this webinar. Two interactive breakout discussions will help you reflect on your school’s current engagement climate and leave you equipped with actionable next steps to help students lead, serve, and grow for Kingdom impact.
