Christian philosophy of education aims to develop biblical character in students and secure knowledge of Christ. The Bible is the primary source of learning and should be integrated into all subjects. The curriculum should be appropriate to students' needs and based on truth, not bias. Teachers aim to help students love God, become effective believers, and develop Christian lifestyle characteristics like virtue, knowledge, self-control, fortitude, piety, kindness, and spiritual maturity. Parents are primarily responsible for education, but the church also plays a role. Teachers serve as models of the Christian life and guides who shape learning through facilitating a process where teachers and the Holy Spirit help students spiritually grow and mature to be like Christ.
