Classical Christian Education

In a world where educational philosophies are constantly evolving, it is essential that we ground our approach to education in the unchanging truth of God’s Word. Scripture is the ultimate guide for educating our children, with a clear calling to prepare them, not just for this life, but most importantly, for the life to come. In light of this, this series is intended to help parents, schools, and churches understand and implement an education that is faithful to the Word of God and proven throughout history. The lessons in this series advocate for and explain the meaning and purpose of an approach to education, known as Classical Christian Education. While there can be nuances to this approach in different cultures and backgrounds, the desire in these lessons is to emphasize common foundational elements that we trust can be taken and applied to every context. We hope these lessons will be an encouragement to you in prayerfully seeking to fulfill the God-given calling to raise our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

The Lord calls us to train up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and this lesson is designed to help parents and teachers find their way through the several broad questions that arise as they consider providing a Classical Christian Education for their children. Is this course of education practical? Is it relevant? Is it important? How do we reconcile the Western and Eastern influences? These and other topics are handled with loving care.
