Every Child Deserves a Quality Education
NEON Kidz cares deeply about the next generation.
We believe every child deserves an education grounded in family values, building the character and confidence they need to thrive.
That is why we built this website. To help you find options and to inspire and encourage you to know there are a thousand ways that YOU CAN offer your child a high quality education that is tailored to their needs and interests.
What children learn at school shapes the way they see the world.
When children are raised with strong moral foundations, they grow into capable, resilient, and generous citizens.
Moral values in schools are crucial for developing students’ character, promoting respect, empathy, and integrity. They foster social cohesion, support ethical decision-making, and strengthen emotional intelligence.
Research confirms it.
According to a large, new peer-reviewed study out of Harvard (April 14, 2024) published in Educational Psychology Review.
Private and religious schools outperform public schools in forming upstanding citizens with
- more tolerance toward others
- were more engaged,
- willing to serve,
- and volunteer.
Private education improved civic engagement by 5.5%.
Religious education boosted outcomes by 7.6% of a standard deviation.
