School of Education
TRUE EDUCATION reproduces the mind of Christ in the life of the believer because it is based on the Word of God. Crown College is committed to training Christian educators who know God and His Word, who will be academically and skillfully prepared, exerting godly influence upon the generation to come.
Three programs are offered in the School of Education – Bachelor of Science in Elementary (4-year), Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education (4-year), and Associate of Science in Early Childhood Education (2-year).
