Students have a very difficult task of finding the right college or university to meet their academic and career goals. There are so many schools to choose from: vocational, public, private, large, small, online or on campus. While a large majority of these schools offer the best education possible, there is a category of schools that offer more than just an education: Christian colleges and universities.
Christian colleges and universities offer traditional academic programs, some with almost all degree levels (associate, bachelor, master’s and doctoral). They also offer something more – many of them also have courses and degree programs that are faith driven or ministry focused. While some Christian universities put more emphasis on this than others, due to their faith-based foundation, they encourage students to earn their degree based on the basic moral principles found in Christianity.

The Bible was used not just a religious text but as a tool for teaching reading and writing. Along with this children leaned the practical necessities and values of life from their families and the acquired wisdom of their communities. Thus came into being the Christian home school.
It was only in 1852 that Massachusetts first mandated compulsory schooling for all children. While the law was good in theory, in practice many children from outlying areas were to far from schools to be able to attend schools and education in the house continued. Things slowly changed and by 1918 every state had its own laws on the compulsory education of children. With the spread of schools, formal education became a reality and by the middle of the 20th century, education provided by the school system was accepted as the norm. By the 1960s however, parents began to have doubts about the standard of formal school education, the values it taught and the harmful influences their children were being exposed to. Looking for an alternative, people started educating their children at home and today home schooling is legal in all 50 states and an estimated 2 million children are being homeschooled today. Among the various options for home schooling available today is the Christian home school.
