We want to help you teach children how to reason from Biblical principles for lifelong discipleship. Educating children to think like Christ brings the Gospel from this generation to the next. Your goal to train young people to serve Christ is the most important thing you can do! If our children learn to base all decisions on the Bible they will indeed become Christian leaders in their generation.
Christian leadership is essential to preserving our nation’s liberty and our Christian heritage. What kind of Christian education truly inspires and equips students for Christian leadership? The Principle Approach® is a method of education that unlocks individual potential, forms Christian character, and teaches leadership. Principle Approach education is modeled after the Hebraic method of tutorial teaching found in Scripture and the early American colonial method of reasoning from the Bible. Students learn a providential view of history and find out what their unique calling is in His Story.
It is our goal at the Foundation to perpetuate the Gospel by passing on the blueprint of liberty—Christianity—instilling God’s principles through a Biblical method of teaching. If liberty is lost, it is because Christianity’s light was first extinguished.
As a leader in a Christian school, you can be a part of this exciting mission—you are already a part of the ministry to “train children the way they should go.” We desire to help you with your ministry by equipping you with the tools to disciple a generation who will be followers of Christ.
Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding; correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.
(Noah Webster’s definition of education from the 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language)
