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 words bible and/or instruction:
“The Germans are called brutal, the Spanish cruel, the Americans superficial, and so on; but we are perfide Albion, the island of hypocrites, the people who have built up an Empire with a Bible in one hand, a pistol in the other, and financial concessions in both pockets. Is the charge true? I think it is.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“There is in general good reason to suppose that in several respects the gods could all benefit from instruction by us human beings. We humans are—more humane.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
