What happens when schools and homes truly align?

In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens sits down with Sadie Elliott, Director of the Herzog Foundation Institute, to talk about one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of Christian education: the partnership between parents and schools.

Sadie shares what she is seeing from her unique vantage point serving thousands of Christian school leaders across the country. Together, she and Davies explore why education can never be outsourced, why parents remain the primary disciplers of their children, and how healthy Christian schools are working to build stronger connections between school life and home life.

They also discuss the continued growth of Christian education, the dangers of drifting into a “me too” model of schooling, the impact of technology on family life, and simple ways parents can become more intentional without feeling overwhelmed.

Tune in to hear:

• Why Christian education is about much more than academics
• What Sadie is seeing in the growth of Christian schools nationwide
• Why parent engagement matters so much for spiritual formation
• How schools and families can either reinforce each other or work against each other
• Why the dinner table still matters
• How technology can erode attention, formation, and family rhythms
• What the Herzog Foundation Institute is doing to equip Christian school leaders

This conversation is a timely encouragement for parents, teachers, and school leaders who want to see the next generation formed with wisdom, faith, and conviction.
