John Van Der Brink began his career in Christian education when he graduated from Westmar College in LeMars, Iowa with a Bachelor of Arts and an Elementary Education Teaching Certificate in 1979. He moved to Norwich, Ontario where he was employed first as a teacher and then as a principal. In 1986, he moved to New Jersey where he is currently the administrator at the Netherlands Reformed Christian School. In 2012, he received a Masters degree in Educational Leadership from Montclair State University.
John is a member, and currently the treasurer of the Netherlands Reformed Christian Educational Association. He has participated as a team member of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools which evaluates educational programs of public and private schools in New Jersey. He is very concerned about the direction of teaching and values in American schools. The influence of evolutionary thinking and multiculturalism is draining our educational system of the Biblical norms upon which our nation’s schools were founded. Today, human rights initiatives are being hijacked to promote tolerance and acceptance of unbiblical values.
