Focus and Philosophy
The SEC believes in encouraging children and teenagers to explore spirituality in a fun-loving and accepting environment.
We teach metaphysical principles and universal spirituality using age-appropriate materials including the Judeo-Christian Bible and other sacred texts and spiritual material.
Open inquiry, an appreciation of diversity, fostering tolerance and forgiveness, and bringing children's own experiences into the classroom are part of the discussion and learning.
