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.

As we come to our final lesson in this series, we conclude with a call to remember our end, which is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. This is comprehensively true, whether we are learning, teaching, whether in the home, or in a classroom. This last lesson provides some practical guidance, with five recommendations to help you reach this goal in whatever your calling or endeavors.
