Ethics for Children ( and Teens) - Fall Session

The Ethics for Children program is a fun, safe, interactive learning environment for kids to investigate important topics that affect their lives. Our program fosters empathy, a deeper understanding of self and others, and empowers students to make a difference in their world.

How do we do it? Each of our weekly class features a lesson drawn from our 5 core principles: Caring for Self, Family, Community, Society (our world community), and the Earth. Our lessons utilize participatory learning through art, theatre, games, music, discussion, reflection, and most importantly – action.
One of our program features is our Service Days when all of our students come together to perform a project for the greater good. Past projects have included making lunches for a community fridge, a beach cleanup, and making enrichment toys for shelter animals.

Our lessons and service projects are influenced by student passions and interests, ensuring our classes have significance to them. Our program does not impose a fixed set of values or beliefs. Rather our goal is to provide a forum where students can identify their own values, expand their knowledge and gain skills essential to developing and following their own moral compass and voice.

We encourage you to contact us with questions.
