Religious Education

Curriculum Overview

Our R.E. curriculum helps students explore important questions about ethics, morality, spirituality, and belief. Students study a range of religious and non-religious worldviews and discuss topics such as the existence of God, life after death, authority, conflict, justice, and charity. Lessons also help students build valuable life skills and develop a better understanding of people and the world around them. By learning about different cultures, beliefs, traditions, and moral issues, students gain respect for the similarities and differences within local and global communities.
