To those outside of our community, Saint Constantine can look a little strange. A campus that hosts preschool-aged children alongside college students? It’s different here, but those who spend a little time on campus will soon discover a school community that reflects what a flourishing Christian community should look like.

Healing, from injury, illness, or inflammation, is not the exception, but rather the rule – God's design from the beginning. God wrote healing into our DNA, carried by every cell in every human body.

It occurred to me that training is precisely the whole purpose of school and a hallmark of the Christian life. But training for its own sake is never useful. We must train for something. So, what exactly does school train us for?

Some climbed trees while other explored the fields in imaginative play. A few students visited our sheep, Lara and Luna, and I followed along.
