  ROCK RAPIDS, IA, Apr 17 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Alpha Omega Publications (AOP) has just introduced a viable and affordable
option to starting a Christian school. It's the new revolution in virtual
Christian
education. For over 30 years, Alpha Omega Publications' Christian worldview
curriculum has reached children worldwide. Now, with the launch of its School in
a Box program, the fully accredited organization is affording even more
Christian ministries
the opportunity to start their own church school. Ministries that would like to
expose their youth to a Bible-based curriculum without bearing the prohibitive
cost of opening their own academy can learn more at www.aopconnects.com.

    According to a 2004 article in The Christian Post, "Christian schools are
decreasing in enrollment because of high tuition. Due to a slow economy, parents
who want to send their children to Christian schools find it harder to afford
private education." With the current economy nearing recession, this decline
only
stands to continue, which spells bad news for the fate of Christian youth.
In 2002, the Southern Baptist Convention Council on Family Life reported that
"88 percent of the children raised in evangelical homes leave church at the age
of 18, never to return. Many advocates of Christian education... blame
secularization of government schools."

    Alpha Omega Publications aims to buck these trends by offering an affordable
alternative in Christian education. It provides all the tools churches need to
start a Christian school. By spreading the cost of academic staff, technical
support, and servers over thousands of students around the globe, AOP
affords ministries a cost-efficient means of giving more young people a
solid biblical education.
