Our Ethics for Children program offers an engaging, fun & safe, learning environment for kids to explore important topics that affect their lives. Our interactive classes foster empathy and a guide students to a deeper understanding of self and others. We use art, theatre, games, stories, music, discussion, reflection, and action to empower students to make a difference in their world.
Our program does not impose a fixed set of values or beliefs. Rather our goal is to provide a forum where students can identify their own values, expand their knowledge and gain skills essential to developing and following their own moral compass and voice.
In each class we feature one of the 5 major principles of our program: Care for the self, family, community, earth, and world. As the program year progresses, we customize the curriculum guided by student interest. Previous lessons have included topics such as rising sea levels, ableism, implicit bias, animal welfare, educational access & emotional self-care.
This fall our virtual program will meet on Wednesday afternoons from 4:30 – 5:30. Students are also welcome to join their In-person counterparts in Brooklyn, putting ethics into action with community service projects and other joint activities throughout the year.
Not sure if this program will be a good fit for your learner? We encourage you to contact us with questions. Scholarships are available.
