Summary/Abstract: The Axiology - Cultural and Valorical Dominant in Education. First of all we have approached axiology as the most important value in educational activities. That leads to the fulfillment of educational objectives, outlining a moral Christian personality, which is an aware of his knowing implications. The values are the conscience contents which had passed through the educational channel. When the human being is living according to some values which he assimilates, he is going to become a value transmitter that will become visible by a conscient behavior. Deeply inside the conscience, at the common root of teleology and axiology lays the extra rational and super rational attitude of the unconditioned inevitable and indispensable faith for the spiritual life. This is considered to be a starting point for thinking, knowledge, and conscious wills, for action and for appreciation.Afterwords, we presented the ideas of some antiquity and modern age philosophers and educators which spoke about the importance of values in education. We have also presented the approach of the Christian theologians and educators which had major implications on the education focused on the values and especially on the moralspiritual education. In this kind of education the supreme values of Truth, Good and Beauty which are all together in God, demand the transfiguration and renewing of the soul. This is why we considered that only in this way education achieves its goal.
