Abstract

Financial sustainability is one of the greatest challenges facing private Christian schools. However, scant research has been conducted to identify innovative structural practices and financial models that may help sustain the mission of Christian schools. This study helps close that gap with a mixed methods inquiry into approaches like mergers and acquisitions, micro- and hybrid school models, third source income and entrepreneurship, and inclusive education, with a focus on 11 exemplars in the Christian school sector across the United States.
