Let’s be honest: secular curriculum is a dislocation of the human person from the universe. It uproots a student from his or her proper place in God’s universe and provides only horizontal movement from one topic and grade to another.
Albert Einstein said, “Learning is experience. Everything else is just information.” Secular textbooks are only providing information. They do nothing to help your child see his or her unique place in God’s universe. As Christian parents, it is our purpose to teach our children to both understand and interact with the universe so that they can truly respect and love God’s handiwork. We have the joy, the honor, and the blessing to create learning environments that help our children become rooted and firmly established in recognizing God’s signature throughout all creation so that our children know the length, width, height, and depth of God’s love.
Apologia’s creation-based curriculum constantly draws students toward a higher order of values and facts. It is a true blessing to be able to define and teach the scientific and mathematical mysteries of the universe to our children from a foundational biblical worldview. There isn’t a firmer foundation on which to base our children’s knowledge.
At Apologia, we not only see the beautiful truth in Romans 1:20, but we design our curriculum to be faithful to this truth. “For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.”
