Meeting Room 3, David and Shirley Quine:
Creating a Biblical Worldview Education
A Biblical Worldview Education is built around the idea of not just teaching subjects, but showing the interconnection among the subjects and then teaching students how to reason — how they see the world — from the Christian worldview. Everything in the curriculum is interconnected to worldviews. It’s not an add-on, but the foundation: students learn to see all subjects (history, literature, science, arts) through the lens of the Biblical worldview. The goal isn’t just academic achievement, but spiritual formation: helping students develop life assumptions rooted in faith, discernment , and character. Rather than rote memorization, a Biblical Worldview Education encourages critical thinking and helps students understand why they believe what they believe. In addition, subjects are not taught as isolated compartments. Students will investigate connections across disciplines, so students can perceive how, for example, history and literature reflect similar themes.
