All schools will utilize the Archdiocesan religion/theology standards, assessments and curriculum guide. The curriculum for religion/theology will be consistent with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and will conform to the guidelines of the Archdiocese of Omaha. All supplementary materials used in the curriculum must conform to Catholic moral teaching and doctrine. The curriculum will include the teachings of the Creed, Sacraments, Prayers and Christian Living that adhere to the four pillars of the Catholic Church. In addition, the curriculum will include content on Vocations, Human Dignity, Human Interaction/Sexuality, Moral Conscience, Social Justice, Community Service/Stewardship, and the Circle of Grace. (Archdiocese of Omaha School Board Policy #6502)
The purpose of this curriculum is to assist pastors, principals, and teachers in the Archdiocese of Omaha in using the Catechism of the Catholic Church to provide a full, age-appropriate presentation of Catholic teaching for Archdiocesan Catholic schools. The religion/theology guide contains clear expectations for religion education standards as well as specific Catholic doctrine relating to each essential standard. The K-12 religion/theology curriculum guide offers instructional direction within the wider task of faith formation in which the family and the entire parish community are engaged. One cannot internalize all the elements of Catholic formation simply by participating in a Catholic school. Conversion is a life-long process. In the Catholic tradition, faith is formed primarily in the family and is supported by the school, parish and the local community. |
