More than a school: a spiritual seedbed.
At De Tarweaar we believe that true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10). We are not simply a training institute; we are a Christian education centre with a clear mission.
01Christian foundation
Our identity is anchored in the authority of the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.
We train students to operate from a Kingdom mentality: with spiritual authority, professional excellence and devoted obedience.
02Teaching philosophy
Integrated learning that restores with wisdom.
From this identity, we believe that true stability in times of crisis comes when a spiritual foundation and professional craftsmanship go hand in hand.
Like Joseph, who combined godly wisdom with exceptionally strong management, we do not separate faith and work. Our philosophy is to form the whole person: heart, head and hands. We equip professionals with a combination of deep Kingdom principles and high-quality professional competence.

For us, Christian identity is not a label on the outside, but the engine on the inside. You see this every day in our teaching:
Starting the day with God
Every teaching week and every day begins with praise, worship, prayer and reflection on the Word. We seek His Kingdom first.
The Bible as a strategic handbook
Alongside modern management and advisory literature and training in professional competences, we study the Bible as the blueprint for healthy relationships, structures and systems in society.
Character formation (fruit of the Spirit)
A good adviser needs not only expertise, but above all a pure character. We train students intensively in integrity, compassion, faithfulness and servant leadership.
03The foundations
Four biblical core values.
Within the curriculum, we translate our teaching philosophy into concrete Kingdom principles that can be applied directly in the workplace.
Stewardship
Responsibility
Taking responsibility for what God entrusts to you (people, resources and talents) and advising with the long term in mind.
Shalom
Restoration & peace
Not offering superficial solutions, but bringing deep restoration and godly order to disrupted systems, families or organisations.
Justice
Integrity
Standing firm for truth and honesty in the workplace, even when it costs personal gain or popularity.
Servant leadership
Leading by serving
Advising from the principle that the greatest must be the servant of all, just as Jesus showed us.
We do not separate faith and work. We form the whole person:

“They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.”
