Welcome to Find Christian Schools™

My name is David O'Riordan, and I'm the founder of Find Christian Schools™. My journey has been shaped by a deep conviction about the power of Christian education and its critical role in shaping the next generation.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of serving in multiple capacities: founding and leading chambers of commerce, working extensively in the nonprofit sector, and serving as an educator and administrator in Christian schools. My wife is a dedicated teacher in a Christian school, and together we've both homeschooled our children and served in ministry and education. These experiences have given us a front-row seat to the transformative power of faith-centered learning.

"By the time a child reaches age 13, their foundational beliefs are largely formed. The values, faith, and worldview they develop in their early years will shape the rest of their lives. This is why Christian education matters so profoundly."

Originally from Ireland—a country with a small but vibrant Christian community—I didn't fully grasp the power of the Christian education movement until I came to the United States. Witnessing the scale and impact of Christian schools here was transformative. Yet as our world changes rapidly, this movement faces unprecedented challenges. Christian education is more critical than ever as a "city on a hill" in an increasingly secular landscape.

I also recognize that not all countries have the educational opportunities we enjoy in America. Many regions lack access to quality Christian education entirely. This is why Find Christian Schools™ exists: to connect families with faith-based education, support educators and institutions, and give back globally by supporting Christian education in places where it would otherwise be impossible.
