Growing Forward envisions a vibrant community where students develop in faith, knowledge, and character, nurtured by a shared passion for excellence and a deep trust in God’s guidance. 

It describes a school where teachers, staff, and students thrive together, supported by genuine care, inspired by continuous growth, and empowered to create a meaningful impact.

In Growing Forward, Dr. Derrick Mueller shares a heartwarming parable that reminds us of the precious gift of investing in others and the remarkable achievements we can attain together. The book is structured into three parts: a parable, a description of the model, and resource material for training, discussion, and information.

Throughout the parable, eight key principles of growth are revealed and interwoven through a mentor’s interactions with a school principal. The 8 P's—Picture, Plan, Plow, Plant, Protect, Prune, Pollinate, and Propagate—provide a transformative framework for cultivating a thriving Christian school community. 

By embracing these vital elements, we can create a nurturing environment where students flourish, becoming beacons of hope, influential leaders, compassionate servants, and optimistic advocates—all for the glory of Christ.
