Through themes of Sacred Texts, Beliefs and Christian Life, students explore:

  • the Jewish traditions practised by Jesus and the apostles
  • God’s covenant and His relationship with His chosen people
  • the roles of God the Father, Jesus the Messiah and the Holy Spirit. 

      These studies deepen understanding of Christianity’s roots and foster spiritual growth through knowledge and reflection. 

      Build Literacy Using Bible Stories

       

      Students enhance their Bible Literacy by examining Christian principles and reflecting on how Scripture relates to their own experiences. 

      They explore moral choices, empathy, and Christian living, guided by the teachings of Jesus. 

      Lessons also connect with events on the Christian calendar, helping students apply faith in meaningful, real-world contexts.
