What aspects make Christian schools in Australia different?

 

Introduction

 

Schools are the places where children come to learn and develop their personalities so that they can find their place in society. A large proportion of the Australian population practices Christianity and they want their children to practice Christianity as well. Christianity is the predominant religion in Australia though increasingly many are moving to live without any religious identity. If Christian education is imparted to children from an early age then they grow up with those values and spread the message of the gospel around the world. However Christian education alone is not sufficient to make modern citizens so quality education goes hand in hand with Christian education.

 

Benefits of Christian schools

 

Values of Christianity are dear to parents who want their children to grow up with Christian values. Apart from imparting moral values from the gospel, Christian education does well to educate children for serving society with their noble deeds. In Christian schools, there's no paucity of funds for learning resources and teaching staff. Pastors and teachers take good care of all the children who enroll in Christian schools in Australia. Apart from the emphasis on religion, Christian schools also emphasize the development of mental faculties in children like scientific temperament and competence in academic subjects.

 

Teaching methodology

 

In Christian schools emphasis on the development of scientific temperament means that there is no rote learning and emphasis is on the application of the knowledge in real-world scenarios. Students at Christian schools are often organized into groups and made a part of different extracurricular activities. Developing personality traits like leadership quality and team spirit are the goals of any extracurricular activity that is made part of the curriculum. Lessons in ethics and morals apart from the emphasis on scientific temperament mean that holistic education is imparted to children. In delivering lessons to children teachers often interact extensively to ensure understanding.

 

Conclusion

 

To sum up, it can be said that Christian education is an important part of education that needs to be part of the curriculum. Parents, teachers, and pastors cooperate so that the benefits of Christian education are apparent in children who become responsible and well-groomed citizens when they grow up. Making education work is something that teachers and pastors at the Christian school ensure with an effective approach to education in all subjects. Peer-to-peer interaction at Christian schools is also encouraged to ensure that children learn to make friends and help each other in times of need.
