Seven Reasons Why Biblical Fundamentalist Christian Schools
In or Near Pennsylvania Affiliate With KCEA.

A. Location- Your school is close to, not far from, all services and activities.
  1. The administrative office is at Harrisburg.
  2. KCEA specializes in “Pennsylvanians helping fellow Pennsylvanians.”
  3. KCEA specializes in real, practical, personal services tailored to the needs of Pennsylvania ministries — and we are never far away.
  4. Meetings and activities are held at convenient locations like Altoona, Bloomsburg, Clymer, Harrisburg, Huntingdon, Lancaster, Lewistown, Mount Pleasant, Pittsburgh, Scranton, Sellersville, West Chester, and Williamsport.
  5. The professional staff know you and your ministry. You can develop a personal relationship with them, yielding all of the advantages of personalized service tailored to local needs.
B. Augmentation- Your school gains three Christian school specialists onto its staff.
  1. The KCEA staff’s over 100 combined years of experience means that affiliating schools enjoy a favorable expense-to-benefit ratio.
  2. KCEA is the inexpensive way for a school to add expertise without having to add all of the staff that would be required to operate a quality program. Much is gained for so little.
C. Preservation- Your school has a stake in the protection and promotion of Christian education.
  1. KCEA’s legislative services for Pennsylvanians are unmatched.
  2. KCEA specializes in securing local grass roots involvement prompted by understandable, accurate, and timely analysis of the issues. This method of influencing government, whether at the state or national level, impacts the outcome of legislative bodies the most.
  3. Pennsylvanians, not someone else, are best at influencing Pennsylvania’s elected officials, and it is not ours to seek to influence the officials of other states.
D. Participation- Your school activities can be enlarged and the school’s image can be enhanced in the eyes of students, parents, staff, and friends.
  1. KCEA features individual competitions and festivals in academic tests, academic projects, Bible, fine arts, and creative writing. Group competitions occur in sports, music, speech, and Bible Quiz.
  2. Three popular activities are also geared toward developing peer leaders in the student body, the All-State Choir, the All-State Band, and the Keystone Christian Honor Society.
  3. KCEA’s printed materials aid leaders in their teaching and leading, lending weight to what they say.
E. Education- Your school program can be improved and strengthened.
  1. The biggest challenges of today are not related to money, rather to quality. Quality assures strength.
  2. For personnel, KCEA offers professional staff training, placement services, and professional Staff Certification.
  3. For institutions, KCEA offers school improvement programs, discounted professional products (including Iowa Assessment Tests), plus professional consultations and troubleshooting that can be conducted by email, telephone, or on site.
F. Information- Your school administration receives valuable, timely, practical helps.  KCEA saves you many dozens of hours of research time each month.
  1. KCEA serves affiliated schools with monthly updates on relevant religious, educational, administrative, legal, and legislative issues.
  2. Special Reports are circulated, giving detailed analysis of topics upon which administrators may act.  Topics range from Academics to Government Action to Spiritual and Cultural Issues.
G. Reputation- Your school can support an organization that is predictable and stable, one that remains consistent with your faith and practice. 
  1. KCEA is open to scrutiny. It is now completing its fifth decade of rendering dependable, professional service to Pennsylvanians. Since it ministers exclusively in your neighborhood, you can personally know its leadership, attend all business meetings, and compare KCEA’s claims and its product.
  2. KCEA does not set aside its doctrinal statement and/or philosophy of ministry for financial or numerical gain.
  3. KCEA is a consistent champion of autonomy and independence for local ministries.
