There is no doubt that Ellen White had a profound interest in Christian education—she wrote numerous articles; pamphlets; and books on the subject. Flowing throughout these writings is one constant; abiding theme: education is to bring the student ever nearer to God. It begins at home and continues into the school; but always "true education embraces physical; mental; and moral training; in order that all the powers shall be fitted for the best development; to do service for God; and to work for the uplifting of humanity" (p. 387).
