*\[Editor's Note: This post first appeared on our [blog for parents of preschoolers](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/ages3-k/everything-is-theological). The message is so foundational to navigating a child's education that we want to share it here, too.\]*
At some point, all parents face a decision about how they will provide for the education of their children. There are, perhaps thanks to our consumerist society, more options today than ever before. As I listen to parents talk about how they will make their decision, I hear the criteria they use to filter their decision-making. These often include things like reputation and tradition, test scores and student performance, accessibility and location, cost and affordability. These are all worthy considerations.

## [A Holistic Approach to Education and Discipleship](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades1-5/a-holistic-approach-to-education-and-discipleship)

So much of our lives and society is compartmentalized and segmented. It’s easy to think, “Worship happens at church; pastors are responsible for biblical teaching and discipleship. Learning about the world happens at school; teachers are responsible for disseminating knowledge. Experiencing relationships happens at home and with friends; parents are responsible for teaching their children about love, grace, and forgiveness.” While these assumptions and responsibilities are in part correct, they do not fully represent how Scripture prescribes our lives.

## [Education as Soulcraft](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades1-5/education-as-soulcraft)

I love talking with students and listening to their future hopes and plans. Doing so is a great reminder to me of the task that educators, from kindergarten teachers to elementary school educators to high school instructors have; that is, not merely to fill students with information or knowledge but to help form them into the kind of people God meant them to be.
