Self-Guided, Science-Based CURRICULA for Teachers and Parents
Learning the science-based STORY OF 14 BILLION YEARS of cosmic, planetary, life, and human evolution in fun and meaningful ways can be transformative for kids. Curriculum materials are available on the themes listed below. All of these are intended for use by parents and teachers who wish to integrate a science-based understanding of the world and the cosmos with whatever spiritual or philosophical worldview the child is being raised within. These worldviews include liberal forms of Christianity and other religions of the Bible, humanism, paganism, religious naturalism, Buddhism, and more. Only those perspectives that treat a scriptural text as literal and unchanging truth would be incompatible with these programs.
