Building a Biblical Worldview
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Making Disciples: The Heart of Cornerstone
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. (Dueteronomy 6:6-7)
Homeschooling is so much more than teaching math, literature, grammar, history, or composition. God has called us to "make disciples," and it starts within our own family! Cornerstone Curriculum prepares children by teaching them to think Biblically, insisting on an understanding of the vast sweep of all that Scripture reveals to us and making it the gauge against which we measure our ideas and our worldview.
Our aim throughout our curriculum is that our children will live a life fruitful in the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:8) in the twenty-first century. Cornerstone introduces a biblically-based set of life assumptions and equips your children to know “why” they believe “what” they believe. We incorporate a biblical outlook in all our courses, because it is imperative that our children be able to discern truth from falsehood in subjects like philosophy literature, history, economics, politics, science, and the arts. Our prayer is that our children will be discerning and able to stand firm in Christ in the 21st Century.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things (Philippians 4:8).
