Christian School Classroom Setting Programs
DCO Classroom Curriculum
“Life Choices: Parental Guidance Necessary” is a resource toolkit for parents to bring God’s design and plan for abundant life to your children. It is also for Christian educators and church youth leaders to help guide this vital area of instruction with young people. This is a powerpoint download for teachers to use in the classroom that explores the choices that adolescents and young adults face and guides them to health, spiritual wholeness and sexual integrity. The curriculum provides direction as they navigate the very dangerous current cultural waters. Our goal is to convey the depth and breadth of God’s good, and beneficial and loving design of gender, marriage, sex, family and life!
