Have you felt a calling to become a teacher in a Christian school setting?

The purpose of KMBC’s Elementary Education program is to equip men and women to serve Christ in Christian school ministry. This program will provide the student with a philosophy of Christian Education, a knowledge of Biblical content, Biblical principles, and the educational skills to meet the demands for trained teachers in Christian elementary schools, grades K through 8. Those who complete the Elementary Education program are eligible for certification by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) which will open the doors to teach in Christian schools in the US as well as many options abroad.

If you have a calling to spread the Word of God through a classroom setting, KMBC’s Elementary Education program is for you!

What happens after graduation?

After you have completed KMBC’s four year elementary education program, you have several options. Many of our graduates choose to step right into teaching in Christian schools around the country while others are available to substitute teach and still others go on to receive their Master’s degree so as to be able to teach in public school settings.

In order to teach in ACSI accredited schools, graduates may need to apply for ACSI certification. This excerpt from acsi.org gives a summary:

“The K–12 certification process begins with an initial application, copies of all official college/university transcripts, and a fee of $75. A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college/university is required to receive an initial certification. All coursework is evaluated and, depending on what courses have been taken, an individual will be granted the highest level of certification their coursework qualifies them to receive. (EE certification process)”
