520	3		_aThe purpose of this study was to measure Association of Christian Schools, International 6th through 12th grade students' perceptions of their spiritual formation and their schools' impact on it. Students confirmed an emphasis on relational spirituality identifying teachers, mentors, friends, and pastors as significant contributions to their spiritual formation and parents as the primary influence in their decision to become a Christian. The results indicate an overall moderate degree of spiritual engagement and vitality. Students connecting to God most strongly through meaning, gratitude, and in the midst of suffering. Students reported lowest means in knowing God through prayer and spiritual practices. Students reported that their Christian school programs impacted them most strongly in the areas of praise/worship, retreats, chapels, bible classes, and faculty mentoring. School program areas with the least impact on student spiritual development were opportunity in crisis, school scripted mentoring, internships, school counseling, and extra curricular activities. Christian school implications from this study included: students connected relationally to God but not through prayer and the spiritual disciplines, students are experiencing significant crisis but report that school counseling programs are not impacting their transformation in crisis, and students are strongly impacted by relational spirituality.
