기독교 대안학교 설립과 운영 방안 = A Study on the Establishment and Operation of Christian Alternative School

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In discussions of finding the next generation education that will overcome the intensified educational malaise, limitation of church Christian education, and private Christian schools in Korea, this study attempts to find an alternative solution in the Christian alternative schools. The author reviewed the factors that must be considered whilst establishing and operating a Christian alternative school; what type of Christian alternative school to establish, the legal grounds for it, and the classification in accordance with its character. Christian alternative schools continue to be found but are closing down every year due to operational difficulties. In order to successfully operate a Christian alternative school, it is essential to have the expertise in implementation of curriculum, members of school faculty and staff, and financial management. The remaining task for the broader Christian alternative school community is to pursue the bilateral autonomy to secure the identity as a Christian school and as the public educational institute. In the meantime, legal and institutional supplementation that allows state financial support to the Christian alternative schools must be promoted as the state’s responsibility to education. It is hoped that many autonomous and public Christian alternative schools will be established in order for the Christian education demanders to choose from a pool of high-quality Christian alternative schools.
