in Secondary Education
Christian education is the development of the mind of Christ in the life of a believer. Because of this, education that is truly Christian cannot be confined to a classroom. Authentic Christian education is Christ-centered, Bible-based, and continuous.
The Secondary Education program is designed to produce teachers who know and love God and from that essential foundation will love their students and enjoy teaching. Students in this program will be taught techniques of effective instruction and the ability to teach without excessive dependence on structured materials. A thoroughly Biblical treatment of home education is included in the program. A minimum of 134 hours are required to complete the degree.
