ABOUT CEN SGO

An operator for Christian education.

The Christian Education Network runs the federal SGO program for K-12 Christian and Catholic schools — quietly, at scale, with the operational lift our schools need.

THE MISSION

Worldview-aligned formation, made accessible.

Worldview-aligned formation, made accessible.

Christian families pick Christian schools because worldview formation isn't optional. The financial weight of that choice has, until now, fallen entirely on those families.

The federal Educational Choice for Children Act changes that. For the first time, the federal government has built a credit that lets donors redirect what they already owe in tax into scholarships for Christian school students. CEN runs the operation that makes the credit usable — for schools, for donors, and for families.

The work is national. The schools are local. The point is the same: keep Christian education within reach of the families who've already decided it's essential.
