As you approach the end of your high school career you may, as so many of your other peers, be thinking about what lies ahead after high school. Perhaps you’ve experienced the questioning from parents, teachers, friends and extended family. The perennial “what are you going to do with your life anyway?” – Yeah, it gets a little annoying. You may be considering furthering your education with secondary schooling, but with your lifestyle and upbringing are unsure of whether the typical state school mold is right for you. If you are looking for a college experience that will touch all aspects of your being, from education to social needs to spiritual growth, exploring the selection of U.S. Christian colleges may be the experience you have been searching for.
