Lead & Deliver | Ep 13: He Built a National Network for Christian Schools — Here’s How

What does it look like to lead a 3,100-student school and build a national organization at the same time? Dr. Jason Rachels has been doing exactly that. Dr. Jason is the president of Calvary Christian Academy in South Florida and the founder of Schools United, a national peer network now connecting thousands of Christian educators across the country. What started as an informal lunch between school leaders in Broward County grew into 78 peer groups and a conference drawing over 3,000 attendees, built intentionally around affordable, role-specific professional development and the kind of unity Jesus prayed for in John 17. In this episode, we talk about how Schools United actually works, why peer-driven learning beats most professional development models, how Dr. Jason restructured his leadership team to lead both organizations without burning out, and what gives him genuine hope about the next generation of students and educators. If you lead a Christian school, work in Christian education, or know someone who does, this one is worth sharing. 🔗 Learn more about Schools United: https://schoolsunited.org/ 🔗 Calvary Christian Academy: https://www.ccaeagles.org/ Kingdom Planning Resources: Free leadership resources: https://www.kingdomplanning.org/resou...
