"For the past few years, Immanuel Lutheran School piloted a Christ-centered social-emotional learning curriculum, but it has fallen short philosophically and theologically. The “Christ-centered” part was more of an add-on than a foundation. We needed something better for our students and families. There were many practical and psychological strategies that can help students and families healthily manage their time, talents, and treasures; however, to what end? The end was human flourishing through psychological means, not by Scripture alone. It is a secular curriculum, imbedded with Woke Marxism, that perpetuates an Anti-Christ agenda"
"This curriculum will begin this year (2025-2026) with grades 3-8 with the plan that next year it will include all grades. There are five key units that follow the Reformation statements of 1517: Sola Scriptura (by Scriptura Alone), Sola Fide (by Faith Alone), Sola Gratia (by Grace Alone), Solus Christus (by Christ Alone), and Soli Deo Gloria (to the Glory of God). This curriculum assists families in learning about the Christian character traits and virtues that Christ has already revealed to us in his Word. It is NOT an SEL (social-emotional learning) curriculum. Each lesson pursues two key foundational questions: How can I glorify God? And how can I love others as myself?"
In connection with the curriculum there is a weekly handout which provides discussion for the head of household to share with his family, along with selected Bible readings and a hymn, psalm, and prayer of the week to guide the family altar. You can find
the first weeks' handout here.
God bless it!
