The Wheaton Foundation

Partnering to train a global movement of Christ-centered educators  ​to equip a generation to reflect Christ in their circles of influence. 
Education as Mission
Bringing the reflection of His glory to the nations of the world. ​
The conventional picture of a missionary is a lone soul who walks through the jungle warding off wild animals and fighting malaria while bringing the gospel to a remote village. But God is bringing the sons and daughters of the leaders and influencers of nations to the classrooms of our Christian Schools around the globe. These future leaders are being equipped with the skills and resources to return to their homes and reflect Christ in their circles of influence.
