BJU gave me the confidence I needed to walk into my classroom and excel. In my first year, I was able to bring my students from 30% to 80% passage on the benchmark exams.

Being a servant leader was consistently taught throughout the Educational Leadership program. Principles such as this enrich the biblical education BJU offers and sets them apart as a school of greater standards.

the tools of education and the message of
the Gospel to serve children, youth, families
and communities at home and abroad.

Programs that

prepare you

well, for life

We help students develop core skills, gain real-world experience and acquire the credentials to be thoroughly prepared to make a lasting life-on-life impact through education in the hearts and minds of those they serve in both traditional and nontraditional careers.

How Can We Help You Serve?

Measured by the highest
standards of pedagogy,

Jesus was the greatest
teacher the world
ever knew.

He knew His subject; He knew His
pupil; He lived what He taught.

The field experiences starting
freshman year are crucial
AND incredible. I think back
to them almost daily!

— Former student

BJU did an excellent job of
ensuring that I had confidence
in my understanding of
content material—to the point
that I was able to teach an AP
class my first year!

— Former student

I am extremely pleased
with the BJU School of
Education and its
preparation of teachers. I
believe the BJU Education
students are the best prepared out there.

I felt I was thoroughly
prepared and that BJU was
“ahead of the game” in the

interested in education.
