Scripture says, 'Train up a child in the way that he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it’ (Proverbs 22: 6).

Does this really only refer to Sunday schools, quiet times and the Christian home, or do we need also to consider the time spent in education and schooling in the same light?

Until the end of the 19th century, most education in the country was delivered through Christian institutions. Many of our most famous schools and universities (including Oxford and Cambridge) had a specifically Christian foundation and purpose. The secularisation of current education has been to the great detriment of our children and our nation. Values of righteousness, truth, morality, love, purity, honour and family have largely disappeared in the amoral melee of post-modern culture with its espousal of a secular 'neutrality' which tends to accept that everything (except Biblical Christianity) is good for all. We do not believe this secularisation is Biblically mandated. If you do not agree, we invite you to consider these issues.

Although there are some long-standing Christian-based schools, in the last 30 years God has moved many to rekindle Christian education in this country through new Christian schools and Christian home schools. However, we have been surprised and disappointed by a general lack of interest - if not antagonism - found in some churches. We wonder why this should be, and would like to present, from Scripture, four areas where we think that a truly Christian education is the better alternative.

Christian education, ideally in the home, is the best form of education. True Christian education must include knowledge, which is the basis of secular academic education, as well as understanding and wisdom, which are God's requirements in the Bible. and the the ultimate responsibility for the education of children belongs to parents. (Deuteronomy 4:9; 6:1-25; 4:1-4).
