Annual Report 2014-15
2014–2015
A Year in Reflection
Leading, Equipping, Uniting
Joel Westa, president and CEO of Christian Schools International
Since taking over as the CEO of Christian Schools International
five months ago, I have visited every region in Canada, schools
on both US coasts, and myriad schools in the central US. I
have participated in one of our ELDI cohorts, in one of our CEO
Roundtable events, and in several Christian school conventions.
I was asked at the November Board of Trustees meeting if I could
briefly sum up my observations from those 45+ days of travel.
The first observation is an easy one: travel is not as glamorous or
comfortable as it used to be, and I am not as young as I used to be!
I also noted that no matter where I traveled, my general observation
is that customer service is not as important as it used to be.
My second and more important observation is that I am heartened by the quality and passion of
CSI’s members to accomplish the mission of Christian education. I spoke with board members,
teachers, and administrators, all of whom are deeply committed to providing the finest Christcentered education to their students. Customer service does matter to these folks, and they are
striving to provide the very best rigorous, faith-forming education for their students.
CSI is committed to leading, equipping, and uniting our members with the highest quality
leadership education, curriculum, school support, and customer service, because you matter to us!
We could not accomplish our mission without your support, and for that, we are deeply
grateful! Thank you for your generosity and for your continued prayers!
God bless!

Jeff Blamer, vice president of membership
From 2000–2010 Christian Schools International
experienced a decline in the number of students in
our member schools. Total enrollment dropped
from about 102,000 to 90,000 students. The years
2012–2015 have been marked by stability, as total
enrollment has grown slightly from 90,000 to 92,000.
During the past four years, 92 schools have dropped
or have been dropped from membership, and 83
schools have become members of Christian Schools
International. One half of the 92 either closed their doors
or did not respond to our communications with them.

The primary reasons that schools that are choosing to become members of Christian Schools
International are shared mission and worldview, participation in employee benefit programs,
and participation in our accreditation and school improvement programs.

With continued growth in the
accreditation program, CSI has
added six regional coordinators in
2014; these coordinators mentor
our schools in the accreditation
program and plan school site visits.
A commission of CSI administrators
oversees the program, makes
changes to the standards as needed,
approves the work of the school
site visit teams, and approves the
reports that schools must submit
annually. The accreditation cycle
includes a self-study and a site visit
every five years.

Beacon Christian First Graders Learn Giving
“We don’t think that’s fair!” Such was the reaction of
first grade students at Beacon Christian School when
they learned about the many families in St. Catharines,
Ontario, who can’t afford to live in a house. Determined
to help out, the students worked with Habitat for
Humanity—a Christian housing ministry that seeks to
build affordable homes for those families.
For the first grade teacher at Beacon, Wilma Harris,
it wasn’t just a matter of raising money for a good
cause. She wanted her students to know where their
dollars and cents would go. They learned from Habitat
for Humanity that a whopping 20,000 nails (five cents
each) typically go into building just one average sized house. Her class succeeded in raising
enough money to purchase 22,933 nails by doing chores for their families and neighbors.
But perhaps the most important part of the class’s efforts was the video they made inviting
the community to help. Each student—the nervous, the confident, and the camera shy—spoke
in the movie. Some wore plastic hard hats and avoided looking directly at the camera; others
talked to viewers with breathless excitement. The video was shown at Smithville Christian High
School, where many teenagers were happy to donate.
Eventually, the school and the community raised enough money to present Habitat for
Humanity a check for $1,146, which will be used to buy the nails needed to construct a home.
Ms. Harris’s first graders look forward to seeing pictures of the home as it is built. As the
students continue to work for good in their community, Ms. Harris said she’d like to see them
do three things along the way: “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.”

AND IT WAS GOOD
Darryl Shelton, curriculum development director
Susan Koppendrayer, a member of the CSI team that pulled together And It Was Good: Teaching
Science from a Christian Worldview, will be presenting two seminars at the National Science
Teachers Association (NSTA) National Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. Susan teaches
science at Calvin Christian School in Edina, Minnesota, and is employed by Christian Schools
International as a science specialist, offering workshops about And It Was Good and about the
integration of faith and science.
Every year NSTA, the largest
association of science teachers in the
world, holds many conferences for its
55,000 members to promote excellence
and innovation in science education;
however, the national conference is
by far the biggest and most anticipated.
Rachael Heyboer, manager of
curriculum product development
at CSI, says, “It is an incredible
opportunity to have a teacher from one of our member schools lead sessions specific to the
private school mission and purpose. Christian Schools International has the potential to
highlight our organization and our belief that as Christians we are empowered by our creator
to discover, probe, explore, and seek after knowledge in every discipline, including science.”
This will also allow CSI to reach out to the many private school teachers that attend the
NSTA national conference. Most of the sessions at the conference are led by public figures
or representatives from public school districts; to have the option to attend sessions that are
presented from a Christian worldview and teaching environment will be an added benefit for
private school teachers.
Susan’s workshops are titled “Empowering Our Students to Be Citizen Scientists” and
“Designing Lessons for the Private School Setting That Implement the NGSS.” Her goal in
these workshops is to help teachers in Christian schools integrate faith (Christian worldview)
into current science teaching.
This is also the goal of And It Was Good, a resource from Christian Schools International that
provides sample lessons that seamlessly incorporate Christian principles into science lessons
based on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). And It Was Good is available for
grades kindergarten through middle school.
The conference takes place April 2016. Said Susan, “God really wants the greater science
community to hear about CSI and what we have to offer. I am so thankful to be part of this new
CSI venture. I am also thrilled to be able to teach and speak at the NSTA.”
We would like to thank you, our faithful donors. Without your support, developing this
innovative teacher science resource, And It Was Good, would not have been possible!

Health Insurance and Pension
Howard Van Mersbergen, vice president of employee benefits
In 1943, Christian Schools International started the Canadian and US pension plans for our
Christian schools to assist in securing the financial futures of thousands of teachers. In the
1960s we began to offer health insurance plans.
Our US pension plan remains fully funded and continues to provide an excellent retirement
benefit to the employees of the 143 schools that participate in the plan. Our Canadian pension
plan continues to make progress toward fully funded status. In August 2012 the funding status
of the plan was at 80 percent. The most recent valuation of the plan showed the funding status
Expenses
at 91 percent. Our Canadian pension plan has 103 schools participating.

Eastern Christian School Exemplifies Character
Eastern Christian in New Jersey has been
named by Character.org as one of only three
school districts nationwide as a National
School District of Character.
Character.org was founded in Washington,
DC, in 1993 as the Character Education
Partnership to support character education
efforts in public and private schools.
Character.org affirms schools where
teachers work together as professionals
to positively shape the social, emotional,
and character development of the young
people entrusted to them. Students in these
schools feel safe, respected, and connected
to those around them, allowing them to
thrive academically and socially and to be
motivated to give back to their communities.
Dick Van Yperen, curriculum and instruction advisor;
Mary Faber, middle school vice principal; Jessie
Wright, high school teacher; Donna Holly, kindergarten
teacher; and Tom Dykhouse, head of school
A team of teachers and administrators from Eastern Christian Schools presented on the
subject of character education to public and private school educators from across the US at
the National Forum on Character Education in Atlanta, Georgia, in October. Their topic for the
conference, which was sponsored by Character.org, was “Relevance across the Ages,” which
traces the development of character education within Eastern Christian School, beginning at
the earliest grades and continuing on until graduation.
The presentation marked the completion of the district’s four-year effort to earn the National
School of Character designation. The district went through a rigorous application and
screening process that reviewed the school’s core values and the ways that character education
is embraced and supported. While at the conference, the team from Eastern Christian accepted
a banner commemorating the designation as a National School District of Character.
The Christian Schools International school community congratulates Eastern Christian on this
prestigious award.
