Authentic American Christian Education
What is The Principle Approach®?
The Principle Approach is America’s historic method of Biblical reasoning that bases every subject of the curriculum in the Word of God. Known also as Authentic American Christian education, the Principle Approach methods form the intellectual and moral excellence that built the nation, sustains our liberty, and equips a productive and fulfilling life.
Historical Roots:
Documented historically in primary source biography and history, this approach mirrors the educational methods that enabled early American generations to achieve the greatest civil liberty ever known to man.
Mission Connection:
At FACE, our mission is to publish and teach America’s Christian history and method of education by Biblical principles to restore Christian self-government and character to the individual, the family, and the nation.
Shift Your Mindset
Cramming facts and figures into brains for the benefit of passing a test without first forming the skill of thinking and reasoning is to form dependency and conformity. The Principle Approach ® reaches the heart of the child with the love of God and His Word as the foundation of acquiring knowledge and wisdom, releasing the individual value in Christ.
