“Protestant schools look forward, encouraging young people to take responsibility for their own lives, guiding them towards meaningful work and giving them a sense of purpose in life. They prepare them to take a positive role in society, inspiring them with a strong sense of social responsibility and encouraging them to be people of integrity wherever they go.”
Establishing Common Ground for Protestant Schools, a position paper by Schools500Reformation (the predecessor of GPEN), Soesterberg, 2016
