Psalm 78 KJV
“Showing the generation to come, the praise of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderful works that he has done… that they might set their hope in God…”
The Foundation in Education school provides a biblical framework for education for those who are already existing educators, those who wish to become educators, or for those who work with children in any context. The FIE curriculum emphasizes the development of disciples of Jesus to know who they are and what they are called to be. If biblical principles are set within children during their foundational years, they will have impact the child’s life also with the potential to impact their family’s, community’s and nation’s lives as well.
This course gives an overview of the physical, intellectual, moral, social/emotional and spiritual development of children and young people. Some topics that are covered are: philosophy of education, nature of learning, and principle approach to education. In addition, the FIE provides a framework for the development of character qualities necessary to be an effective teacher. It is our goal to show the youngest generation the praise of the Lord, His strength and the wonderful works that He has done so that they might set their hope in God.
