Religious Studies

The Religious Studies curriculum begins in Second Grade and encourages each student’s spiritual growth while providing a foundation of Biblical and religious literacy.

Built on a Christian foundation, Religious Studies classes provide a welcoming and safe environment for students of all religious backgrounds to learn and grow. Through intentional incorporation of the Core Values and themes from weekly Chapel, classes foster a loving environment for children to learn about God and listen to each other’s beliefs, practices and questions. Attention is paid to connecting the students’ experiences in Chapel and class to their decision-making and sense of themselves.
