Bible Instruction
OCS' Bible classes are geared to assist its students in understanding the basics of the Christian faith, and to be able to defend it against a "secular culture", which it sees as becoming increasingly hostile toward Christianity, and against which it believes that Christians in the past have failed to take an effective stand.
For example, 4th grade students are taught major Christian doctrines such as the Holy Spirit, Heaven and Hell, and Final Events ("last days" or "end times" events), as well as concepts of Bible memorization and proper use of Bible study aids such as concordances and Bible maps.
As another example, OCS seniors are taught a one-semester course in creation science. The course (which covers both initial Creation and the Flood) is designed to fully equip students to defend the Creation Model of origins from a Biblical and scientific standpoint.

Famous quotes containing the word instruction:
“A little instruction in the elements of chartography—a little practice in the use of the compass and the spirit level, a topographical map of the town common, an excursion with a road map—would have given me a fat round earth in place of my paper ghost.”
—Mary Antin (1881–1949)
