I understand from other people I’ve spoken with that the school uses a secular curriculum. Can you clarify how it can be Christ-centred, but not use Bible-based curriculum and texts?
We do indeed have secular texts for the most part. At the same time, we stand by the statement from the handbook that our curriculum is Christ-centred. We accomplish this by integrating a biblical worldview into our classes as much as possible. To read more about how this is done, see for example, www.biblicalworldviewinstitute.com. We realize there is a school of thought that the only way to deliver a Christian education is by having Christian texts. It is one way, but it is not the only way. Students need to learn how to interact with the world. We do realize there are those who go too far with that but we are convinced that you will find a good balance at UIS.
