Christian schools are uniquely positioned to integrate faith into every aspect of learning, especially social-emotional learning (SEL). While secular SEL programs might offer valuable tools for understanding emotions and building social skills, they often miss the spiritual foundation that aligns with a Christian worldview. If your Christian school uses a secular SEL program, it might be time to reconsider switching to Generous Students — a biblically-immersed SEL program!
Biblical Values at the Center
Secular SEL programs teach self-awareness and empathy but tend to leave out how faith shapes us. Faith transforms our emotions and relationships and our beliefs that feelings and people are gifts from God. In contrast, a biblical SEL program teaches students to understand their feelings and respond in ways that reflect Christ’s love and teaching
Nurturing the Whole Child
Christian schools are called to nurture the whole child — mind, body, and spirit. While secular SEL programs address emotional and social needs, they miss the key spiritual component. Biblical SEL teaches students to trust God with their feelings, guiding them toward emotional health and spiritual growth.
Aligning With The Mission
Christian school's mission is to glorify God through education. Secular SEL programs can unintentionally introduce ideas or values that conflict with biblical teachings. Choosing a faith-based SEL curriculum ensures that all aspects of your teaching, including emotional development, align with your core Christian values.
Building Christ-Centered Community
Christian schools strive to build communities grounded in Christ’s love. A biblical SEL program strengthens this by teaching students emotional skills. It encourages them to live out God’s love in service to others, creating a compassionate, Christ-centered environment.
