PEERS TEST - Biblical Classical Community

The PEERS Test is the only professionally validated test available in the areas of Politics, Economics, Education, Religion and Social Issues. It reveals a decline in the equipping of individuals to have and articulate a Biblical view in these essential areas which relate to the Liberty of individuals and our nation.

Dan Smithwick with Nehemiah Institute is the creator of the PEERS test. His work is integral to the restoration and preservation of Liberty to America. However, individuals who take the test, grow in areas where they need to develop the Biblically Theistic worldview, and

A Note From Dan Smithwick

From Nehemiah Institute’s website:

“Dear friends,

“I am hearing many say, “All is well- the right people are back in office.” That is frightening to me.

“NOW is the time to take action. Culture is not shaped at the national level, certainly not at the Whitehouse level. Rather, it is- The “Long March through the Institutions” a phrase attributed to the Italian communist Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) where lasting change is made. The Marxists have implemented their game plan quite well, sadly.

“We have to spend the time, energy and cost to take a deep dive into how life is being done in our cities, our counties, our states. But even before that, in our homes. Are we sure that our ideas for the good life, the biblical life, are rooted in scripture? How can we know?

“Enter the PEERS Test. PEERS, in use for 30+ years with Christian high schools and universities shows where our thinking is biblically based and where not. We have a long way to go, see the PEERS Trend Chart on this site. Also, read the Why Believe Nehemiah report to see why PEERS is credible. Look too at the Sample Test Items.

“Then take the test, about 20 minutes of your time. See where your ideas are based on sound biblical principles and where not. The test comes with Position Papers to help rethink those items which the test says you “missed.”

“The fundamental reason for taking PEERS is this: Romans 16:20, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”

“Your feet.” That is you and me. We have to be the agents of change used by the Holy Spirit to turn back evil and advance righteousness.

“Have you crushed any of Satan’s lies under your feet lately? PEERS and PILLARS (worldview primer in the online store) will significantly help strengthen your worldview position so you can slay a few dragons as you march through life.

“First step- take the PEERS Test.

“That is the solution for restoring our Judeo-Christian Republic.

“Happy to chat,

“Dan Smithwick

Purpose and Results

A Biblical Classical Education (whether The Principle Approach^® or like-minded) forms convictions in the student about God’s view of the world. As Christians, we have the ability to positively impact our nation in the areas of Politics, Economics, Education, Religion, and Social Issues.

The PEERS worldview test is based on relevant categories for the health of our nation. In order to restore and keep our Constitutional Federal Representative Republic, individuals must have a Biblically theistic worldview.

As Christians become equipped with an internal Biblically theistic worldview, they are able to participate with an outworking of life and service.

You are great parents; you have the best interest for your children at heart. You’re in the fight for them⁠—the forefront of the battle. That battle is words and worldviews.

The teachers at Biblical Classical Community can help you with that through our courses so that your children end up with a Biblical Theistic worldview on the PEERS chart. This is because of the five distinctives of Biblical Classical Education.

Understanding the PEERS Worldview Chart

The results shown on the Trend Chart are based on worldview assessment of approximately 125,000 students in over 1,000 Christian schools since 1988. The bottom line on chart reflects “worldview understanding” of youth from Christian homes but attending public schools. Results are obtained by administering the PEERS test to evangelical church youth groups.

The next line (yellow) are from what Nehemiah Institute classifies are Traditional Christian schools. The top line reflects results of both The Principle Approach^® schools and Classical Christian schools where “worldview understanding” is foundational to their programs. The Principle Approach^® schools have consistently produced the highest PEERS scores. Less than 5% of Christian schools in America are of either of these two types.
