- “Relying on recruiters who do not emphasize their schools’ religious focus, Chinese parents perceive these schools as ’safe’ and ‘family-oriented’ places where their children will get a typical American experience,” she said in an e-mail. “They have no idea how religion permeates the day to day environment. I would no more place a Chinese student in an evangelical Christian school than in an orthodox Jewish school.”
What they are selling to the unsuspecting parents and students is an "American" education, not a religious conversion. Their website say that it is a Christian school, but they are certainly not selling a religious conversion.
