Key Summary

    About : The Master of Arts in Holistic Education focuses on integrating mind, body, and spirit in the learning process. This program aims to cultivate a deeper understanding of education that emphasizes personal growth, community engagement, and social responsibility. It's designed for those looking to transform educational practices through holistic approaches and is especially suited for educators, administrators, or anyone involved in community-based learning initiatives.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue various career paths, including roles as educators in holistic and traditional settings, curriculum developers, and educational consultants. Opportunities also extend to community organizers, workshop facilitators, and leadership positions within non-profit organizations focused on education and social change.

The 13-month M.A. in Holistic Education program provides a “fifth year” of advanced study leading to licensure for those who have completed a baccalaureate degree from the Templar School of Education. This M.A. cannot be taken as a stand-alone program.

During the local public or Christian school year, candidates serve an internship that begins on the first-day teachers return to the classroom and continues through the teachers’ final day. Interns complete base placements in their primary licensure area with two alternative placements in the other areas of licensure, other grade levels, and in public and Christian schools in various combinations. Successful completion of the program leads to licensure from the Tennessee State Board of Education; certification by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI); and a Master of Arts degree from Johnson University.
