What Will My Child Study?

"All that quickens sympathetic imagining, that awakens sensitivity to others’ feelings;
All that enriches and enlarges understanding of the world;
All that strengthens courage, that adds to the love of living;
All that leads to developing skills needed for democratic participation.
All these put together are the curriculum through which children learn."

Sophia Lyon Fahs

Unitarian author and educator, 1876-1978
