How We Do It
Classes, Conferences, & Seminars
IPS has a range of teaching formats and topics that are designed for adults and teens, and cover everything from evolution to elections and economics. These programs expose students to a view of civics, history, and economics that cannot be found in the classroom or the media.
High School Speech & Debate
Through the activity of academic debate, students gain an interest in government and public policy. Along with the invaluable skills of research, logic, and speaking, we work hard to expose these students to thinking that is both principled and biblical.
Teacher Education
The classroom of today is the world of tomorrow. By reaching teachers, hundreds of students are reached in return. Thus, training and influencing teachers is one way IPS impacts our world.
Pastoral Education
Since many of the principles that IPS teaches originate in the Bible, it is important that our churches be able to effectively teach these essential principles. By meeting with pastors, hosting classes and events insides churches, providing insight, and recommending materials, IPS helps pastors understand the biblical role of government.
Publishing & Other Media
Through books, magazines, newsletters, curriculum, and the internet, IPS works to influence and educate our society and its leaders. Rather than producing copious amounts of sound-bites, IPS develops deep, well-reasoned materials that last.
Training Parents & Home-Schooled Students
Change doesn't begin in the White House, but in each individual's house. Therefore, IPS continues to teach and support these dedicated families with seminars and materials.
