“Enrolling in an institution of higher learning gives the student new responsibilities, especially if he leaves his home to go to school. No matter how restrictive the school environment, the student will have to make decisions without the close support of parents and familiar surroundings. It is essential, therefore, that the school duplicate as nearly as possible the environment of the student’s Christian home and that it offer a program consistent with the family’s educational objectives for the student.

“The above considerations should necessitate the student’s refusing to place himself under the tutelage of unsaved instructors unnecessarily. Education is inherently religious; thus, a teacher’s religious views inevitably influence what he teaches. Though some areas of study are less subject to philosophic manipulation than others, none is completely immune (I Cor. 2:6-16; II Cor. 10:5). Consequently, a Christian young person should, whenever possible, seek training by Christian instructors in a Christian school.”
