Why is it imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education?
-
It is imperative because educators need to pass down the Biblical knowledge, values and truth to the next generation, so that generation can know God and make Him known to the world. When a generation comes up without knowing God, we see what we saw in the Old Testament, generations who didn’t know the Lord and departed from God which only brought them captive.

One’s personal life philosophy and philosophy of education inform and direct the methodology and content used in the classroom. In order to teach at a Christian school, educators should work to create a curriculum that highlights Christ and His creation. Having a well-thought-out Christian philosophy of education will more clearly point students to Christ and safeguard against following cultural trends.
