Technology, Ingenuity, and Dominion
Truth, Integrity, and Discipleship
Projected Opening: August 2027
How You Can Help: Please see below for ways to help the school open its virtual doors, and how to help sponsor its first thirty students.
Uncompromisingly Christian, 100% private and independent. CSSEE shall restore Christian excellence to the study and application of technology for the purpose of honoring and glorifying God, and for the purpose of discipling and evangelizing students, who will in turn enter the workforce and the world for the purpose of doing the same. The primary Practical Goal is to build upon the foundation of those who have already taken life by the horns and have faced down the bull of their difficult lot in life, and to liberate those who are ready to break free from the rot and rut of the cramped cage so many have imposed upon them, to transform them from dependent, down-trodden, economically depressed offscourings, into productive, prosperous, enterprising men full of the motivation and ambition necessary to serve God in every area of life. The primary Spiritual Goal is to further build up those who are ready to soar, and to transform those who are not, from dysfunctional, directionless, and spiritually depressed offscourings, into revived, serious-minded, intentional men full of the honesty and integrity necessary to serve God in every area of life.
Thorough, rigorous, useful, complete. Although current plans are to provide a standard curriculum, our wider vision for the school is to provide a maximally flexible and personalizable program to students. As with all aspects of an organization's business, the extent to which we are able to achieve those goals depends on several factors, including the needs of students versus our capacity to meet those needs. We are currently working towards developing a one- to two-year program that is fully virtual, taking technically intermediate- to advanced-level students who are ready to face the challenges of moving into professional-level training, projects, industry certifications, and as quickly and as efficiently as possible, moving them into productive work: whether as paid interns getting their feet wet and splashing around as they learn the first principles of how a business is run and how it is made profitable by serving and producing; or for the rocketeers among them, diving head-first into the deep end at mach speeds, starting their own businesses, planning and preparing, producing and serving, marketing and selling. All will be challenged, none will exit the program unprepared to earn a living and without real-world business connections. Students will not be bogged down in a program that consists only of a stack of books and multiple-choice questions. Real, valuable training, leading to real business sense and connections, and with the kickstart into high gear they will need to succeed; whether they continue working with our business partners after graduating, or whether they want to use skills developed at CSSEE to work and pay their way through a full, Christian-university engineering program; and whatever path and journey each undertakes, as we hope and as we will encourage all students towards, to use the skills and business connections we provide in order to ground themselves firmly and stably in the real-life, God-ordained practices of marrying, having children, being productive businessmen, and serving God by spreading the Gospel and the Christian principles that make men and nations great.
Self-disciplined, ready for rigor, ready for real life; Blind means blind: unable to read, drive, and travel unaided by crutch or cane or with service animal or Good Samaritan. We envision primarily a student body consisting of young men of high-school and college age, but younger students exhibiting precocious talent and disciplined work ethic will also be considered; all adult ages are also welcome to apply, but preference will be given to young men who are or who strongly desire to be well grounded in Godliness, who exhibit an understanding and motivation to live uprightly according to God's commands, including explicitly professing a desire to extricate themselves and others from all corrupt entanglements (dysfunctional homes, discombobulated churches, disgusting socialist government programs, etc.), in order to continue growing as or to start becoming the men God wants them to be: skilled, dignified, productive husbands and fathers. Priority consideration will also be given to servicemen and first responders who lost their vision in service, and who also want to escape the duldrums of dependency programs and government "benefits", recognizing that America's veterans, among all people of the world, should be most self-reliant, resilient, liberty- and justice-minded, and entrepreneurial. Jewish students shall not be excluded if they can demonstrate an honest and sincere commitment to reverencing the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; a hand of friendship and welcome shall ever be extended to the beloved Jewish people, for we desire even the unbeloved among Christians and Jews to be revived and saved. Like all other students, Jewish students shall be incessantly and mercilessly evangelized and discipled along with receiving all that CSSEE has to offer all its students.
Professional, valuable, beyond university-level; Theoretical and vocational; Grounded solidly in the Holy Bible. CSSEE shall provide the highest quality, most practically and professionally useful curriculum ever developed for blind students. Sighted students will want to attend. But for them there already exists an overabundance of options to choose from among the thousands of stagnant, antique campuses and curricula that cannot be nor should by legal coercion be multi-accessible, or that at best provide as a government-mandated afterthought an office of bureaucrats overwhelmed and harried by mobs of clamorers for yet another government handout, having by definition already segregated blind students away from the higher quality yet low quality university campus experience.
The initial training program will focus entirely on technology and how to use it to succeed in business: from classical to modern AI-driven software development and engineering; from systems administration to enterprise operations and automation; students will be prepared and strongly encouraged and even mentored to use technology to aid in the establishment and operation of their own businesses, and/or to serve others' businesses in order to help them do the same.
Jesus Christ is God and King. There is no other correct starting point. He is first in our name, and He shall be the final word in all that we do. The state of blind people has forever been one of low degree, and understandably so: In a high-definition, three-dimensional world, without sight, the disadvantages are everywhere, and the mountain that is life becomes a mountain range, where one can become disoriented in a parking lot, or walk unwittingly upon a vicious stray dog, or simply be oppressed by the stultifications of everyone around telling you to sit there in the basement with your welfare-check pacifier and rot your manhood away until you die the death. No more. The mind and its imagination, and the heart full of hope, in combination with the advances of science and engineering, are enough to raise up even a blind man from poverty to become in large part what all men should be: God-fearing, God-serving, God-inspired, hard-working, productive, profitable, and prosperous, in Christ.
No more excuses. The low expectations I have seen everywhere as a blind man could easily be enough in themselves to discourage any major, difficult undertaking. Why add to the difficulties? Why not simply "sign up for the Check", as so many, even so many Christians, have attempted to foist upon blind people as their only real hope? Because God does not call us, not even those of us who are blind, to the Easy Way. He calls us to the One Way: Truth and Life in Christ. We have been bought by the price of His blood, and we are risen together with Him in the newness of life by the power of His resurrection. That's why. And then there are His people, and all those who are lost: All these need our help, just as we need theirs, though sometimes in different ways and by different means. We blind men are equally responsible, equally called, and equally capable of finding, knowing, honoring, and serving God, with our whole lives, and then going out and helping others to do all these wondrous things God has granted for us to do--just as much as all other men are responsible and capable to do and to be, each according to the gifts and opportunities that he has been given and that he is able to develop and create.
CSSEE is therefore founded upon the Rock of Jesus Christ, with the explicitly and unashamedly stated purpose of serving Him by serving blind people, which entails teaching, training, pastoring, coaching, and mentoring them to become what God created them to be and to do. We are developing plans, from curricula to apprenticeships, that will provide the training and connections to enable blind people to live as fully as possible physically in a world designed for sight, and that will, more importantly, help them to live fully for God in every area of life and throughout the remainder of their time here on Earth.
In the unique position that I find myself, and having had the unique experiences that have shaped my life, I will be able to assist my students unlike anyone else, and so I am setting forth on this journey. After three decades as a highly committed Christian, shepherding students has developed as a passion and calling. After a dozen years in the IT arena as a sighted person, and now after ten years of studying in school as a blind person, with over two hundred undergraduate and over one hundred graduate credit hours of work, I can help blind students find their way through many mazes. And so I shall; and when my students become mature, productive citizens and family men and ministers of the Gospel, the return on any investment into CSSEE that you make will be evident: Fewer men and families oppressed under the thumbs of so many government bureaucrats and politicians with their faux compassion; and graduates of CSSEE who in turn will take what they are taught and teach the same to their own families and to others. The rich rewards and blessings will reach to generations.
We Need Help. Anyone who tells you that "Blind people can do anything," or that "We can do it ourselves," is a liar and a fraud. If I turn slightly the wrong way and lose track of where I am in the grocery-store parking lot, I have retrained myself (away from the lies and pretenses) not only to ask, humbly and graciously, for help; but also, thanks to the numerous compassionate and generous hearts of so many who still have it in them to do so, it brings such joy and delight to hear one of those kind voices call out, "Hey, need some help?" "Yes, thank you, kind sir!" Blind people easily underestimate how visible they and their blindness are to sighted people. God truly worked a marvel when He designed human vision--and the vision of vultures, and of spiders, and of ... God is amazing! He is the greatest scientist, engineer, and entrepreneur, ever.
God is our inspiration here at CSSEE, and helping His little human creatures He somehow loves so much, is our motivation: to make a way to help others see God, and to help blind people see the way forward in life as they serve Him and those He made in His image and likeness. And with the help of others, in every way small and large, we shall accomplish these our goals through the efforts at CSSEE, and our students shall be prepared to fight the good fight and live the life ahead, full of difficulties, but also full of blessings, and with eternal hope.
Thank you for considering how you might help us in our work here at CSSEE, and thank you in advance, for taking a moment out of your busy day the next time you "see" that a blind person might need a little helping hand.
Sincerely,
Karl Henderson

PS: One final word on the name: We have intentionally placed Christ first in our name: Christian School of Science, Engineering, and Entrepreneurship; and there, first, Christ shall remain, in His rightful place, as He shall remain first in all our considerations and actions at CSSEE. You might wonder, then, why we have in places expanded the name to read, "Christian and Jewish", especially in light of the recent polarizations and politicizations. That is precisely why we have done so. Just as we shall train our students not to be cowards and hypocrites, so we shall prominently and boldly proclaim the right conviction that God has a special love for the Jewish people; and that, therefore, so should we. If anyone hates the Jews, then he must also necessarily hate Jesus Christ. If you disagree, please start at the first page of the Bible, read through to the end, and then see if you can be honest and admit that it was Jews who wrote practically the whole thing, that Messiah Yeshua was and is Jewish, and that America in our whole history has never had a greater ally than we have in Israel (and if that ever changes, it will be to our shame, and we should work diligently to restore the bond). If anyone after World War II was in any way moved in his heart or mind to think, feel, or regard any less the Jewish people, that man was evil and in need of deep repentance. So, too, if you were in any way persuaded or nudged in the slightest to disregard, despise, resent, or in any way lessen and in no way increase your love for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel after the more recent Hamas-Iran Holocaust of a few years ago (we do not refer to it as "October 7th", just as we do not refer to the other as "9-11" or "September 11th"; it could hardly be more cowardly and hypocritical to give the enemies of Christians and Jews a calendar date on which to celebrate, as though it were a festival or holiday; it was the Hamas-Iran Holocaust, and the other was the day Muslims attacked Christian America by hijacking airplanes); then, if you are like that bizarre man who could watch the reels of video from the concentration camps and turn away with a hardened hart and darkened mind towards the Jewish people, instead of swelling with compassion and brotherly love for them, you too are in great need of repentance. I hope this explanation has not been unclear, about who we are and what our mission is at CSSEE.
Students
You must prepare to be admitted to CSSEE. It is not likely that anyone admitted to the program will already be a professional-level computer scientist, data analyst, or AI engineer. To become professional-grade, you are going to have to earn every inch of the territory you have to struggle through to get there. There are no shortcuts. AI means more is expected of the professional, not less. Constant troubleshooting, analysis, experimentation, and lots of frustrating hours trying to overcome big challenges--all are in your future. Highly paid professionals are highly paid because they solve big, complex, difficult, expensive problems. Start now, because the sooner you learn how to handle it, the better you will do in this program. You will be tested, so test yourself, and make doing so a lifelong practice.
The goal is not simply to have someone say that you are ready, theoretically, to earn money, by handing you a certificate of completion and then sending you on your way. The goal is to get you actually earning money, using your skills, creativity, and business acumen, before you even leave the program. On the flipside of entrepreneurship: To earn even a chance to be realistically considered for an internship in the cubicle farm of a giant, billion-dollar corporation (which we highly discourage our students from aspiring to), you will have to work harder throughout your training than perhaps you ever thought possible. Long days, short sleep, and lots of reward await those who face the challenge and push through to the end.

Businessmen
WE NEED YOU. Our students will be thoroughly trained never to ask for a handout, never to bear out one of those entitlement attitudes of "I deserve it" that are so common, never to "take the cake"--those cake jobs artificially created and corruptly funded in order to give politicians and NGO's that receive government grants a talking point at the expense of the blind man's dignity; but instead, we want to work with you to help you consider what real work at your real business run by a real man could be handled by a blind person, or perhaps tweaked slightly, or to show you how a blind person, using his technical skills, could work around, through, or even above and beyond, any difficulties or even impossibilities in your current processes. Our students will be able to improve your technology operations, or they will be able to creatively work within your existing systems; and they will be able to make you more profitable--or they will be honest enough to admit they have more research and experimentation to do before they could be of assistance to you. They will need to learn from the hard knocks of your entrepreneurial journey, so please also consider the mentorship and coaching aspects of becoming a business partner with CSSEE. We especially need IT professionals who are also entrepreneurs--the best of both worlds relative to our technical+business program. We need you to look at things from a little bit different perspective in order to help our students learn real skills doing real work for real businesses.
Businessmen of all kinds, Scientists and Engineers of all kinds, Professionals of all kinds:

Volunteers
As the structure of the school and its training take shape, we will need volunteers, although we wish to pay as much and as many as possible for their assistance making the school a success. Your time is valuable, your skills are valuable, and everything about CSSEE is to teach our students that Work = Reward, No Work = No Reward; so volunteers are wonderful, but paying people for their work is better. Therefore, we ask you first to volunteer by spreading the word about the school and our God-honoring mission. We certainly need hands-on help, but we believe that Christians especially should seek for ways to part with their money in exchange for work, instead of having all these varied, strange attitudes towards money. Earnedly you have received, earnedly give. Be a joyful rewarder of those who provide goods and services to you, including our students. Therefore, we would ask that your secondary form of volunteerism be to think of ways to help blind people, especially our students, work and earn money. Then help us find others who will do the same, and ask them to contact us.

As a serious and seriously uncompromising Christian ministry seeking to truly impact blind people for the Cause of Christ, we will be vigorously opposed in our work, by many outside and also by many inside the Church (for those not paying too much attention to the state of things: you would be surprised how angry, spiteful, and hateful many Christians become when they hear even a word that threatens or offends their favorite socialist government programs). We will need a heavy covering of serious prayer and spiritual support just to get the school off the ground; then further, to help blind people to see the light that they have myriad opportunities to succeed economically; but more importantly, that we might help them to see that they all and at all times have the opportunity to succeed as Christ-honoring individuals, sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers.
The goal is to enrich students, not ourselves. The founder is committed to very simple living in order to commit himself to the task of starting and operating the Christian School of Science, Engineering, and Entrepreneurship. As every entrepreneur knows, this means initial months of near hundred-hour workweeks, and years afterwards of roughly the same pace, in order to keep things moving and growing. Creation of the curriculum is well underway, and that is full-time work in itself. Connections to businessmen willing to work with our students must be made, which means another full-time job of communicating and traveling and making things happen on behalf of what the students will need once they are trained and ready to work as apprentices, interns, junior-level and full, professional-level employees. Equipment must be obtained, configured, and joined with the written curriculum. Students must be recruited, interviewed, tested (yes, pre-tested, no freebies at this school), matriculated, and be ready to go on the first day of classes.
We are starting from zero as of September 2026: Zero prospective students, zero funding, zero business partners.
Starting: Christian and Jewish School for the Blind -- Goal: 37,500; As of 9/9/2026: $0
Scholarships: Christian and Jewish School for the Blind -- Goal: 90,000; As of 9/9/2026: $0
Ideas: info at christianssee.com (convert this to an email address): Please send us your fundraising ideas.
Unlike the bloated bureaucracies of so many organizations, we do not seek to give ourselves fancy titles and benefits packages. Every dollar donated to this effort, and effort and service that is truly and desperately needed, will be stretched to paper-thinness. All accounting shall be transparent, including any donations used for staff, which sadly, as every businessman knows, accounts for an inordinate part of the budget. People must live in order to work.
We would like to open our virtual doors and welcome our first class of students in 2027. But if that is not possible, we will continue to work, moving the ribbon-cutting ceremony back by one semester at a time or as appropriate for students and staff, until we are ready to start. General projections and breakdowns of expenses follow, for a fall 2027 opening day.
Breakdown of current estimates needed to start the school with 30 students by fall semester 2027, with students following a year-round program:
Curriculum
Development: 1,000
Business Relations
Communications, travel, events: 2,500
Equipment/Infrastructure
Services, servers, software, storage, accounts: 4,000
Library: 2,000
(Initial library expenses are low; for students in session, they will likely be much higher for access to research libraries)
Staff
Founder: 28,000/year
(Breakdown: for the typical government-issued 40-hour workweek @176 hours/month: $13.26/hour; for the entrepreneur's realistic workweek of 80-100 hours/week, using 12 hours/day @360 hours/month: $6.48/hour)
Potential additional staff: 40,000/year/staff (not included in totals)
(Contact us with your best entrepreneurial offer, and if we can afford you (and if you are blind--or if you are seriously able to assist our mission as a sighted person), then we will seriously consider using our donors' dollars to hire you.)
Equipment/Infrastructure
Subscriptions, licenses, libraries (students): 21,000
Subscriptions, licenses (school): 7,500
Maintenance, support, upgrades: 3,500
Staff
Founder (same as above): 28,000
Startup, from present to first day of classes
37,500
Ongoing, for first year of classes, 30 students, year-round
90,000
======
As it stands, based on current projections, we think we could start the school in about one year, and then host the first class for its first year, for about $127,500. If so, this would mean that, not counting bare-essential staff living expenses, we believe the school could be ready to start for the fall 2027 semester for about $10,000. Further, not counting startup costs, scholarships of $3,000 would be able to sponsor a single student for the whole year (90,000 / 30); if startup costs are included in the estimate, we would instead simply take 127,500 / 30 = $4,250: the cost per student, to fund the startup and also to fund the student for his first year.
Admission will be competitive and at our sole discretion. We will not be persuaded by donations or other favors to consider one student over another. Each prospective and admitted student will stand on his own two feet and will be judged based on his own merits according to criteria we have developed.
Thank you for considering the Christian School of Science, Engineering, and Entrepreneurship to be part of your ministry of giving, service, and business. And please send us your Prospects and Professionals!
