In the Family Life Education strand, students explore a variety of topics related to the themes of personhood, interpersonal relationships and sexuality. Students will demonstrate a knowledge of the prophetic tradition in Scripture, become familiar with the social teachings of the Catholic church, explore contemporary notions of spirituality and proyerb, and recognize the importance, power, and potential of the human person in relation to morality and personal choices concerning future life paths.
