What is "Principles & Choices"?

Submitted by Suchi Myjak on

The curriculum I'll be teaching this year is "Principles & Choices," published by Healing the Culture.

"Principles & Choices" is an innovative high school curriculum that helps students master principles of logic, ethics, and justice that inspire them to live with purpose, moral integrity, and care for human life. The program gives students a strong philosophical education in ten core principles that ground Church teachings on respect for human life, social justice, and many other contemporary issues. Students practice relating these principles to life issues and are invited to apply them to other issues in our modern culture and in their own lives.
