The purpose of the Christian School major is to equip teachers, administrators and parents to prepare their students to live as God’s holy people. The focus is on ardent and obedient discipleship to Christ for the purpose of building His body of believers worldwide. The motto of the Christian School major is from Romans 12: “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Its slogan is "The heart of education is the education of the heart." Major areas of emphasis include restoring parental educational responsibility, promoting bibliocentric curricula, building loving relationships and forming distinctly Christian character. This program offers a variety of tracks, including: curriculum development, teaching, at-risk populations, cross-cultural/missions, and leadership.
