Principles of Christian Education for Students

It is the responsibility of parents (and other parent figures) to ensure that children are raised to be God fearing Christians who make a difference. The earlier we can reach children for God the greater the potential impact that they can have. Through a partnership with the parents Christian schools help to shape the type of person a child will grow into. It is important that Christian education offers the type of renewing (that is not available outside of Christian education) that glorifies and edifies God. This is why Christians should be involved parents that are concerned with the education that is being offered to their children. Christians should therefore take a lot of prayerful consideration to select the school that they allow their children to attend. God has ordained it to be that parents have the accountability for educating their children and therefore have the responsibility of being the primary educators for their children. Parents may choose to accomplish this in a number of different ways because not everyone is equipped to be a teacher. Some parents choose to trust a school to assist them in this very important responsibility.
