Christmas is often associated with presents under the tree, but one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the gift of learning. At Equip Christian Academy, we believe education rooted in biblical truth is not only valuable now, but a lifelong investment in a child’s future.
During December, families can reinforce learning through holiday traditions. Baking Christmas cookies can become a lesson in fractions. Reading the story of Christ’s birth can inspire writing assignments or artwork. Even decorating the tree can spark conversations about symbolism, such as how the evergreen reminds us of eternal life in Christ.
The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 4:7, “The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” As families gather this holiday season, we encourage parents to see every moment as a chance to teach, inspire, and nurture their child’s heart and mind.
This December, let’s celebrate not only the gifts wrapped in paper and bows, but also the lifelong gift of education that prepares students to shine Christ’s light in the world.
