Teacher for the Nation is one of the schools that Youth with a Mission has to offer and this is accredited through University of the Nation located in Hawaii and Eclesia in Arkansas. When you have completed the course you earn 27 credits towards the degree you are choosing. I have taken several courses that YWAM Tyler had to offer and can truly say that I enjoyed each one very much. This year I am taking T.F.N. and loving every minute of it. Not going to lie….really hard work and long hours just like any other school or work. Jim and Barbara Kilkenny started this school in 1980, the same year they pioneered the Christian Heritage School. I was always terrified of doing T.F.N. because I have been told that is was very challenging and thought provoking. Before starting school…I thought I knew a lot…but have learned how little reasoning power I really had. While you are in the school…this is the kind of curriculum you would be taking: Sentence Analysis, Growing Kids God’s way, History, Philosophy, Education and Government, and Curriculum Development.
History is God’s story of what really happened and the reason we are here today.
I came from Romania and my experience has been that everywhere you go they teach you something different. For example, I was taught in Romania that Ulad Tepes the Impaler was a hero. Someone who loved and protected his country…when I got to America I learned that he was horrible and evil. That is why it is so important to get the right foundations…T.F.N. teaches you how to think govern-mentally and Biblically to reason from the Bible. They teach you to think for yourself and research the truth. People make the mistake of thinking that the school is only for teachers. Not true, it is for anyone who longs to learn how to reason from true principles. The staff is always ready to help in anyway you need. Everyone of the teachers are filled with a passion to teach and make sure you learn to love studying and have fun while you do it. Bet you never dreamed of that. For the first time in my life I love learning for the reason of understanding. It has been life changing for me and because the teachers are all such great teachers and love what they do….they have dedicated their life to teaching the truth to each student.
