Do you have a passion for helping others learn? Do you want to make a real, tangible difference in the lives of young learners? However you want to use your teaching degree in the future – whether it’s a public school, a private Christian school, or abroad – the education you’ll receive at LBC will prepare you for it.
At Lancaster Bible College, we strive to prepare teachers who are reflective, relational and relevant. We place a special emphasis on training you to think biblically, equipping you to impact your educational community for Christ, and most importantly, teaching you to integrate God’s truth into both your personal life and professional practice. Through our unique combination of education and Bible classes, you’ll learn about the characteristics of middle level learners, how to apply strategies necessary for effective instruction in both self-contained and subject-centered classrooms and much more.
Starting in your very first semester, you’ll get hands-on training through field experiences in local public and private schools, and your field experiences continue all the way to student teaching. We combine the theory of education with practice, giving you the opportunity to develop into an effective educator and graduate prepared to impact the next generation of students. Our specially formatted program allows you to combine your interest in specific subject matters along with your desire to make a difference in the lives of students in grades four to eight. Our middle level students train to be content matter specialists in their selected fields.
Middle level majors can choose to either take a concentration in English, math, social studies, or science; or choose a broader focus with two main subjects as on the Focus Options.
If you’re ready to start training to become a teacher, apply to our middle level education major today.
