“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Proverbs 22:6

SPIRITUAL FORMATION AT LIBERTY CLASSICAL

What is Spiritual Formation?

 

A biblical view of education is primarily about formation not merely information. This involves cultivating the whole person, including one’s spiritual and moral life. A biblical view of education means to “train up” or provide “instruction” to the whole child— that is, attending not only to their mind and body, but also to their soul and the cultivation/direction of their spiritual lives. Thus, educating a child includes both teaching informational content and developing moral character.

 

School plays an integral role alongside the family and the church in the formation of the "whole" child because school is where the child spends a significant amount of time. At Liberty, we often use the 3-legged stool analogy to represent the partnership between Family, Church, and School in this cultivation.
