It is important because without the Christian aspect you only have society’s goals.

It is important for us to have a Christian philosophy of education so that we may model Christ-like character, as well as, to pass down knowledge, values, and truth to the next generation.

Every educator has their philosophy, whether they realize it or not. Our educational philosophy permeates everything we carry to our students, whether it be in lessons or in casual conversation. It is crucial as Christian educators to not only recognize that we have a philosophy, but to establish our philosophy in Scripture. If our educational philosophy is Christ-centered, it will bleed over into every aspect of our teaching.

You cannot share a perspective that you don’t have. Educators need to know how to follow Christ themselves, so they can also lead students closer to God in the classroom.

We want the next generations to know who God is. We need to give them the tools to see how God has a plan for each of their lives and that He loves them.
