Going to a Christian school is a very distinct and special experience.
Normally Christian (or Catholic) schools are small and private so everyone knows everyone's business.
Here are 10 unmistakeable signs you may have gone to a Christian school:
1. The day didn't start without a prayer over the loudspeaker
Daily prayer, meditation, and bible verses from the principal or a teacher were to be expected.
2. Weekly chapel seem to last forever
The message was always good and the worship was awesome, but sometimes it felt like it ran a little long.
3. Everyone would guess who drank and who didn’t
"I heard that he went to his aunt's cousin's house and had a spiked drink... Do you think it's true?"
4. Everyone knew everything about your life
You knew when your friend's parents got a new pet goldfish or when their last vacation was.
5. Dress code checks were a thing to be feared
Time to bring out the ruler...
6. There was that one “golden child” in the school when it came to grades, social life, and faith
The A+ student who managed to run a youth group, have an awesome job, and somehow got a normal amount of sleep (HOW??).
7. Swearing was a big no-no
"She said WHAT? Did the teachers hear??"
8. The school’s worship team members for chapel were the most coveted people
The drummer and lead singer were always the coolest.
9. There were Bible verses and encouragements all over the school’s walls
And the encouraging quotes always had a pun to go with a school activity or a new season.
10. You always had a million and a half people ready to pray with/for you
Hands down one of the most comforting feelings in the world.
11. You found some of your best friends
You always had someone to sit with at lunch and chapel and beyond.
