In Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning, Douglas Wilson makes the following argument for teaching from
a Christian worldview:

 

“Again, Dabney [R.L. Dabney, On Secular Education]: ‘Every line of true knowledge must find its completeness as it converges on God, just as every beam of daylight leads the eye to the sun.’  The Christian educator’s job is not to require the students to spend all their time gazing at the sun. Rather, we want them to examine everything else in the light the sun provides.”

Teaching a Christian worldview is a perspective that applies Scripture to all of life. It is developing a Christian frame of reference through which all subjects in life are evaluated. A well-developed Christian worldview will affect literature, current events, math, and science. As Wilson also states, “Education is more than being equipped to read Plato, J.S. Mill or Jefferson. It involves teaching students to think about what they read. But thinking should include determining whether the author in question was right or wrong--and that involves commitment to a standard of truth.” Students should see God’s hand and have His perspective as they view the subject matter that they are taught. They should see how certain subjects were developed from Christian thought and are interwoven with principles that reveal God and His handiwork. Bible teaching and Scripture memory are essential tools at the school for laying a spiritual foundation and to demonstrate how Christian thought and academic subject matter are integrated.

Most of the discussions of worldviews will be in the Logic and Rhetoric School grades, but teaching critical thinking,, logic, and an awareness of current events in the Grammar grades builds the skills students need to
evaluate and discuss worldviews. In the Logic and Rhetoric grades, students will be taught to see what influences a person’s actions and thoughts and to recognize how worldviews are influencing our culture. Students at PCS will be taught to look at our society differently: viewing it from a Christian perspective, recognizing that we are in a post-Christian era, and understanding that most of the influences around them are coming from humanistic and non-Christian worldviews. Students will be taught to ask of everything, “What are they really saying?” and “Is it true?” Teaching children how to think for themselves will also have the effect of sharpening them like arrows to be effective in the spiritual warfare for the cultural battles they will soon have to confront.
