The Value of a Christian Education

​A truly Christian education is invaluable.   It will create an environment of respect for God, for His Word and for authority.  It will lay foundations of discipline, moral values and a work ethic that will prepare a student for life.

Christianity is a tremendous force for education.  Most of the world’s languages were first set to writing by Christian missionaries.  The first book in most languages of the world has been the Bible.  Christianity has been the greatest force for promoting literacy worldwide throughout history.

Christianity revolutionised education by making it available to all classes and to both genders.  Christians were the first to advocate universal education.

The very name, universities, confirms their Christian origin.  Uni Veritas means ‘one truth’.  It was the Christian monks and missionaries who discipled Europe who established the first universities in Paris, Oxford and Cambridge.
