King's West becoming Crosspoint Academy
9/27/09
Developing Leaders – Contemplation – Stephen Covey
How Biblical are they?
The Christian school in Bremerton, Washington, USA, operated by Seattle-based CRISTA Ministries, that was formerly called King's West is changing its name to “Crosspoint Academy” according to an article in the The Sun newspaper, September 23rd, by Marietta Nelson. The following is a quote from the article:
“Crosspoint will remain a Christian school with an emphasis on biblical teaching and weekly chapel. Teachers are still expected to be Christians who demonstrate their faith to students. The tagline for the school’s new name is “developing the next generation of Christian leaders,” [Bryan] Peterson said.” [Peterson is Head of the School.]

Commentary and Questions:
What is meant by, “developing the next generation of Christian leaders”? Is this simply the New Testament call to be disciples and to make disciples, or is this in the context of reconstructing society and trying to win the “culture wars”?
New curriculum for the school will be built around the following, according to The Sun: “critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, contemplation and cultural competency”.
What do they intend by the “contemplation” element?
“The school’s 25 teachers also received four days of training over the summer from a book by Stephen Covey called “The Leader In Me.” Students this year are working in small groups called “dynamic leadership teams” that focus on Covey’s “seven habits” and will be working on community service projects. Students will also be introduced this year to local political and business leaders.” [The Sun article]
