What is Christ-Centred Learning?

Back to Glossary
Quick answer

Christ-centred learning understands Jesus Christ as central to truth, purpose and the way students learn about God's world.

Definition

What makes learning Christ-centred?

Learning is Christ-centred when biblical convictions shape the purposes, questions, relationships and interpretation involved in teaching each subject.

Why it matters

Why this matters for parents

A Christ-centred education helps students connect what they learn at school with the Christian faith nurtured at home and church, rather than treating faith as a separate part of life.

Covenant's Approach

In school life
