In our Christian Studies program, we remain grounded in our Anabaptist principles, working with students as their faith develops and grows throughout their time at Westgate. In all of our courses we focus on developing Biblical literacy and spiritual reflection. We recognize and welcome the many different Christian traditions in our school, as well as other faiths and perspectives. It is our hope that through the progression in these courses our students acquire a strong academic and spiritual foundation for their beliefs and understand the beliefs of others in their community.
In grade 6, we focus on God’s Spirit animating the world around us, and being present within us, empowering us to live lives of love, joy, peace, kindness, and faithfulness. We will read and watch stories from many parts of the Bible, as well as from present-day communities, in order to encounter God’s loving Spirit in the world around us.
