Restoring a Zion Education

“Everyone shall consider the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life.”

W. Cleon Skousen, Marvin S. Hill, and Ernest L. Wilkinson, Brigham Young University: A School of Destiny (Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1956).

In the days of Adam and Eve, education was family-centered where the father served as the primary teacher, passing down spiritual, moral, and practical knowledge. The family was the core institution of learning, with fathers instructing their children in the ways of God, the laws of nature, and righteous living. This education focused on virtue, wisdom, and preparing individuals for both earthly life and eternity.

This model of education was not just academic but transformative, shaping character and teaching leadership through example. It was based on patriarchal authority and designed to build strong foundations for individuals and society.

Many families are struggling, often unaware that the type of education they use could be part of the problem. This course explores the concept of celestial education, focusing on the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith and the principles he restored for Zion.
