Circle of Grace
Required Curriculum and Assessment for all students
What is Circle of Grace? It is the love and goodness of God that surrounds us and all others. It is the recognition that God is with us always and is there to help us in difficult situations. Through the Circle of Grace program, adults assist children and youth to recognize God’s love by understanding that each of us lives and moves within a Circle of Grace. It holds your very essence in mind, heart, soul, and sexuality. The Circle of Grace program helps children and youth identify early on when they are uncomfortable with a situation and include ways to seek the help of a trusted adult.
