| Summary: | This article is based on replies from over 2,200 parents with children in Norwegian Christian free schools. More than half of them say that they have chosen the school because it is Christian. About the same number give the reasons that the school is academically good, has a friendly atmosphere, and their child wanted to attend that school. The parents of the youngest more often mention the school’s Christian basis. Of those who most actively practise their faith, more than four in five give this basis as one of their reasons for choosing the school. |
