Intro to Biblical Integration - Online Course

This course is an essential element of our recommended learning plans for educators and school leaders in Christian schools around the world.

Course Description

This course explores the nature and importance of biblical integration, and introduces simple, practical strategies for classroom implementation.  Participants will develop their understanding of biblical integration through interaction with each other and preparing a biblically integrated lesson plan or unit that is relevant to the grade and subject level they teach.

Course Purpose

“Biblical integration” can be a confusing topic for teachers. However, it is a core feature of education that is distinctively Christian. Integrating subject content and teaching methods with a biblical worldview is a dynamic process, so there is no “step-by-step” formula to apply. Teachers with an understanding of the purpose and process of biblical integration will be in a position to think creatively about how to implement this in the context of their own classroom. This short course is not intended to turn teachers into experts, but provide a simple way forward for teachers who wish to strengthen their understanding and practice.

2026 school year in review - Thank You

As another school year comes to a close, we find ourselves pausing — as we should — to ask a question that matters more than any metric or milestone. What has God been doing through Christian schools in Europe this year?

The answer is larger than any one school, conference, country, or organization. It is a story told in classrooms and conference halls, in student testimonies and teacher conversations, in policy discussions at the European Parliament and around the graveside of a faithful servant.

Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence

There is a question running through every staffroom, every school board meeting, and every teacher's planning session right now, whether it is spoken aloud or not: What does faithfulness look like in the age of artificial intelligence?

Course Offering - Restorative Responses to Challenging Behavior

One of the most meaningful expressions of a Christian worldview is how we respond to challenging behavior. As educators and administrators, our responses shape school culture, influence relationships with students and parents, and reflect our core values and beliefs. This course explores how a restorative, trauma-informed approach can help prevent and reduce challenging behavior, while providing a biblically grounded framework for responding effectively when it occurs.

Flourishing Communities: A Restorative Approach

Restorative practices provide a framework for addressing both individual behavioral challenges and interpersonal conflict, but it is even more than that. “The restorative approach is a way of being with others, a relational approach to prevention and intervention”
