Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the Colson Fellows Program tailored specifically to educators?
No, the Colson Fellows Program is designed to be a rigorous study of biblical theology with emphasis on equipping participants with a comprehensive Christian Worldview, therefore all Colson Fellows-in-Training will have a similar experience by participating in the same program and utilizing the same curriculum. However, our Colson Educators Program supports administrators and K-12 educators in Christian schools by offering additional courses and tools to equip them to lead and teach with clarity, confidence, and courage on their campus and in their classroom.
-
Are Colson Fellows eligible for CEU credits?
Yes, ACSI will award up to 120 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for those who successfully complete the Colson Fellows Program. Individuals may earn additional CEUs through the Colson Educators Program.
-
What happens after I become a Colson Fellow?
Regardless of whether or not you complete the Colson Fellows Program, you will always have access to the Colson Educators Program and resources, which offers a broad range of state-of-the-art educational tools and curriculum for use in training teachers, administrators and students in topics ranging from the foundations of a Christian worldview to the biblical perspective on current cultural issues.

Achieve Excellence in Worldview Formation
A hallmark of Christian private school education has been the promise to help students "develop a Christian worldview." Yet almost all school leaders admit their worldview education is among the weakest programs in their curriculum.
One Christian Headmaster lamented, "We've been teaching Christian worldview from day one. Not only are we not doing it well, but we are also finally realizing we have been setting up our kids for failure. They are grossly unprepared to live a life of faithfulness to Christ in today's world."
For those Christian educators and institutions who may not want to start with the rigor of the Colson Fellows Program, the Colson Educators Program provides K-12 Christian schools with content, coaching, and staff development in three areas: worldview knowledge, classroom application, and relationship cultivation.

“Christian school teachers with a robust, working Christian worldview are equipped to inspire their students to lead with their lives because they themselves have been inspired by God’s compelling vision for our world.”
Dr. Shayne Grove
MIDDLE AND UPPER SCHOOL PRINCIPAL,
THE FIRST ACADEMY, ORLANDO, FL
“Serving as the Assistant Head of School in an independent Christian Academy, it is vital that I can effectively navigate today’s culture and re-shape it in a way that is pleasing to God. I’m excited to partner with other Colson Fellows to strengthen my own biblical knowledge and continue to develop a solid Christian worldview to assist me in working with future Christian leaders. “

“The Colson Fellows program was a great way to connect with other individuals who are interested in reading great books, growing in Christ, dialoguing about important Gospel-related matters, and seeking to be agents of change in the culture. The program is not for anyone who does not like to be challenged; but the rewards are worth the challenge. I would recommend the CF program to anyone who has interest in worldview thinking and how to respond to the challenges believers face “in this cultural moment” in a way that engages others with both the truths of Scripture and the grace, mercy and love found in Christ. I look forward to how God will use my participation in this program.”
Dr. Shannon Bomar
FORMER DIRECTOR FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, ACSI
“Often in Christian education we talk about worldview as a lens through which we see God’s creation and the world around us, and while it most certainly is that, it is so much more. A robust understanding of worldview is a deepened understanding of the whole story of Scripture and who I am as God’s created and called. . . The Colson Fellows program helped me ground and deepen this understanding and my purpose. Worldview is so much more than my perspective on Creation or knowing which Scripture supports a particular question or topic. It is who I am and how I live – in this culture and in this moment – I was created to be here.”
