Partners for Learning Across Cultures

Partners for Learning Across Cultures (PLAC) encourages Christian communities, parents, churches, and schools around the world to establish partnerships in learning.

These partnerships encourage teachers, administrators, church leaders, and students to engage one another in the learning process across cultural boundaries.

People in learning communities learn from one each other and contribute to the discovery of knowledge, new learning methods, and environments.

Under such partnership arrangements, partners discover and define their educational task within the context of caretaking God's world. This helps every learner realize that they belong to him.

Guiding Principles:

Uphold the dignity of each participant
Foster independent learning
Foster excellence in academic achievement and skill acquisition
Experience God's dynamic interaction with his creation
Practice obedience in restoring God's creation
Celebrate inherent cultural differences

Levels of Partnering:

Getting started
Getting to know one another
Getting to know one another better
Commitment of staff to foster and enhance communication between partners
Preparing for exchange visits

PLAC seeks to net-work with other like-minded organizations in building Christ's worldwide kingdom through Christ centered schooling.

Everyone can play a part:

Parents, Grandparents, Christian day schools, Students, Churches, Sunday Schools, Mission Committees, and more. There's a place and role for everyone. Take your place among the hundreds of others who have already agreed to help.
