MUI Dallas Academic Plan
2013/2014
God says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is
old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). A child must be
trained daily. To train means to exercise, to discipline, to teach and
form by practice. When a child is trained, it becomes part of his
character to do what he has been taught, and training must take
place all through the day every day.
