The Critical Elements of Christian Schools in Korea

This article explores the critical elements of Christian schools. In Korea, Christian schools have two limitations, that is, teaching Christianity in the classroom and preparations for the college entrance examination. In this paper, I shall describe clues about the constructive ideas of Christian schools for encouraging Christian school leaders and parents who are interested in managing and teaching in Christian schools. This paper initially deals with the goals of Christian schools and the determinants will be explained which are related to goals such as metaphysical, epistemological and axiological beliefs. Subsequently, I shall describe the biblical view of student who is created in the image of God but fallen and will be restored in the image of God. Next, the biblical view of teacher which focuses on the functions and the metaphors of the teacher will be discussed. Finally, I shall attempt to emphasize the curricular based on the unity of truth and the role of the Bible.
