Biblical-Classical High School

Biblical-Classical High School

Homeschooling high school? Welcome to our Biblical-Classical high school resource article! What a wonderful season of life to enjoy with our homeschool high school students. And what a blessing to immerse our students in Bible Principles.

A Biblical-Classical education is also known as a Principle Approach® education. It’s what we’re given by God’s Providential Hand out of the Protestant Reformation. And it’s from that moment forward in education that we find Christians teaching and learning with this method for generations. Indeed, it’s the very education which our Founding Fathers received. And we witness the historical evidence of its fruit because of the principles upon which our great nation is founded. While keeping the Bible at the heart of education in every subject, we too can raise strong leaders of Christian Character to help preserve our liberties for generations to come.

How do you know if a Biblical-Classical education is what you’re looking for?

• Do you love God with all your heart, mind, and soul?
• Are you thankful for the great things He has done by His Providential Hand?
• Do you cherish our liberties and the founding of our nation on Biblical Principles?
• Is a Bible-based education what you desire for your family?

If you answer yes, then this a “passion-match” for you in education.

You Have a Role Dear Christian Parents

We’re active participants in God’s story. For all of History is HisStory. And it’s by His design that you are born at this time on the Christian HisStory Timeline. Furthermore, it’s by and for His purpose that you’re living in the freest nation on His earth. As you come to understand God’s plan to spread the Gospel Westward and how America is the Most Complete Expression of the Christian Civilization, you’ll embrace teaching and learning her Christian History. Plus, you’ll be one of the key participants in HisStory for helping to keep and restore America’s Christian Character.

America’s character is suffering. If you’re like me and you love her, then a Biblical-Classical Education in your homeschool is part of the solution to helping her turn back around and thrive with a Christian Character.

Wait! It’s Not Just For America…

As Christians are already aware, God’s Word is for all people of all nations. As such, Bible Principles are for all people and all nations.

Wherever you call home on this beautiful globe that God created and is Sovereign over, you can teach and learn with a Principle Approach® Education.
