A helpful summary from each principle of their current projects and priorities.
It seem to me as noble as the intention is there will always be a conflict between the world and the Lords church and any attempt to reconcile the two will lead to a shift away from sound doctrine and biblical separation will give way to pragmatism within two generations. If membership of a sound Baptist Confessional Church is to be preserved until our Lord returns will not this movement undermine it. I suggest such education come under the oversight and authority of an independent church like all its other ministries. Perhaps a Society of parents working in sacrificial harmony to love Christ individually and bring up their children in the way they should go. Each generation moving on with their children leaving following generations a biblical example (should I say ensample) to follow not a structure of laws or educational status to uphold. Only then will our youngsters grow up to be 1Cor 1:30. in Christ who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 1Co 1:31 that, as it is written, "HE WHO GLORIES, LET HIM GLORY IN THE LORD."
Thank you for your pertinent points Chris, I think I've seen cases where officers of a church may hold key governor position or staff position to ensure that the school is emphasising and prioritising salvation and spiritual growth in pupils and requiring and expecting holy and godly lives to be lived from teaching masters (otherwise their dismissed). I thinks it's ideal.

An example I know of is Trinity Bible Chapel in Canada (https://trinitybiblechapel.ca/staff/). One of their assistant pastors/elders leads their classical Christian school called King Alfred Academy (https://kingalfred.ca/about/faculty/).
