The children's class program nurtures spiritual qualities and human virtues—such as love, generosity, compassion, justice, and truthfulness—while helping children develop a noble and upright character. The curriculum is designed for different age groups between 5 and 10 years old.
We know that children are the most precious treasure of a community, and that nurturing their education — both intellectual and spiritual — is a sacred responsibility. These classes are open to the entire community, regardless of ideology, belief, or cultural background.
The aim is to help young children discover and develop human virtues through a program that blends prayer, music, memorization of quotations, storytelling, art, and games. Throughout the curriculum, the children also learn about habits such as being a good friend, seeking knowledge, and learning to live in harmony with others.
Learning should be joyful. Deep concepts are introduced to children through uplifting prayer, music, learning and memorizing inspiring quotes, storytelling, arts, cooperative games, and drama. Throughout this process, children improve their vocabulary, reading, and memorization, and their ability to express and share complex ideas.
Most classes meet once a week for an hour or two, in groups of five or more students. Teachers are trained local volunteers from diverse backgrounds — often youth or young parents — who wish to give back to the community. All teachers are background-checked to ensure the safety of children.
Children memorize and recite prayers to focus their thoughts and cultivate positive spiritual qualities.
Children learn songs that convey the spiritual qualities they're taught in class — simple melodies anyone can sing along to.
Children memorize short, beautiful passages and reflect on how to embody the virtue they're learning about in their own lives.
Children listen to inspiring stories that model the spiritual quality they are learning about — from classic fables to parables to real-life accounts.
Through collaborative games, children enjoy active learning that reinforces their spiritual growth and builds friendships.
Children color and create art that deepens their understanding of lessons and nurtures their creativity.
Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.
At school, children spend years learning about the sciences, humanities, and arts, but spiritual and moral education — learning how to be a good and noble human being — is often missing. When children are left alone to develop their own moral standards and principles, they are swept up in the chaotic patterns of belief and behavior they see in the society around them.
Children's classes help their young participants learn virtues and spiritual qualities like truthfulness, compassion, and a strong sense of justice. Great attention is given to developing the beliefs, habits, and behaviors that help children flourish and develop a strong sense of identity as moral beings and active protagonists in their family life and communities. Lessons begin at age 5 and continue until age 10.
