Transforming students lives with education and a Christian worldview.
Christian education is that ministry of the Church by which it seeks to communicate its faith and nurture Christlike disciples. In the Church of the Nazarene, the ministry of Christian education is expressed through local church education and Nazarene higher education, including clergy education.
The International Board of Education (IBOE) serves the Church of the Nazarene system of higher education in advocacy, support, evaluation and networking. This system of institutions includes 50 colleges, universities, and seminaries and is resolute in shaping Christlike disciples and servant-leaders for lifelong service and global impact.
The institutions are located in more than 110+ world areas on six continents and serve a richly diverse student body offering phenomenal opportunities for more than 43,000 students who annually make Nazarene institutions their schools of choice.

Students Annually
Choosing where to engage in education for life and service is one of the most important DISCIPLESHIP DECISIONS A PERSON WILL MAKE. Regardless of the level of the degree, from diploma to PhD, it is a significant season in the development and spiritual formation for the student.
If you are a potential student considering where you might attend school, a Nazarene institution is a VALUABLE CHOICE FOR YOUR EDUCATION AND CONTINUED DISCIPLESHIP. If you are a parent, pastor, teacher or friend offering counsel to a student considering where to go to school, I encourage you to recommend they consider our Nazarene institutions where students are intentionally nurtured as disciples of Jesus to engage in the mission TO MAKE CHRIST-LIKE DISCIPLES IN THE NATIONS.
