Millions of children around the world aren’t in school, or they’re in school but not learning well. For us, that’s a problem. We call this the global education crisis. Edify is helping to solve the education crisis by providing resources to independent schools. When schools have the tools they need, they can improve the level of education they offer while fostering the best possible learning environment for students. And by integrating a biblical worldview into the school curriculum, learning can transform the minds and spirits of children who grow up to be the world’s next thinkers, innovators, and leaders. Education needs to be accessible, affordable, and high-quality so students, families, and nations can flourish. Join us on our mission to improve and expand sustainable Christ-centered education globally.

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God." Colossians 3:16 (ESV)

“So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.” - Matthew 25:28, ESV 1?? One of Edify's Core Values, based on Matthew 25:28, is "Applaud the Entrepreneurial Spirit." The Bible showcases this spirit from Genesis to Revelation, and Jesus Himself modeled creativity, vision, and bold action. In the same way, the education entrepreneurs we partner with across 15 countries embody this spirit daily, creating a ripple effect of students impacted, advancing the next generation, and ultimately Christian transformation. ?? Students Impacted At Edify, we believe every child deserves a quality education. By equipping these education entrepreneurs, or school owners, with training, loan capital, and education technology, schools become more sustainable, and students thrive. In fiscal year 2024, Edify partnered with over 34,000 schools, impacting 8.4 million students in low-fee independent schools. ?? Advancing the Next Generation Education changes lives. UNESCO reports that one extra year of schooling can increase an individual's earnings by 10 percent, and secondary education could lift 420 million people out of poverty. These schools that Edify partners with help students succeed by providing intentional, high-quality education, opening doors for a better future. ?? Christian Transformation Beyond academics, Christ-centered schools shape students spiritually. Edify supports school leaders and teachers as they share Jesus through their work, strengthening the body of Christ. “We need to share what God has done in our lives… education is the best way for transformation,” says Karla de Pineda, LATAM Regional Lead, Christ-Centered Education. As we continue working toward Flourishing Godly Nations, education entrepreneurs remain at the heart of ensuring every child receives the education they deserve.

Ideas bloom from His divine inspiration Rosa Zorrilla, Director of the Shalom Evangelical School in La Romana, Dominican Republic, reminds us of what working unto the Lord looks like: grateful, inquisitive, diligent, and with humility. We admire Rosa’s reverence to God's work at hand in her life and her humility to let the Lord use her as a vessel to help Shalom Evangelical School succeed. May God continue to speak to and empower His people for His glory and our good!

“We thank God for all the visits and training we have had with Edify. They have served as motivation and have strengthened us as an educational center.

It's a privilege to work alongside thousands of talented school leaders who are advancing Christ-centered education. ????: Dominican Republic
