Our elementary age children explore the truth principles through Unity’s “Living Curriculum”. We explore spiritual truths found in metaphysical interpretations of the Bible and other resources, and then relate those to the greater community, and finally return to discover a personal meaning for each child. Aside from Bible stories and other resources, we add music, yoga, games with a purpose, prayer, meditation, and positive affirmations to creatively experience these lessons in fun way. This “Living Curriculum” is designed to provide children with a “spiritual toolbox” that they can use throughout life. We aim to equip our students with such “tools” as the Five Basic Unity Principles and the ability to look for personal meaning in positive prayer and the teachings of spiritual wayshowers, like Jesus.

During the month of Febnuary we will focus on the concept of Divine Order.The Preschool and Elementary classes will focus on "Creation in Mind" and "Law of Mind Action" based on Unity's Third Principle. We'll also discuss the concepts of how Patience and Surrender can help us to co-create with Divine Order.
