Towards a Spiritual Integration in K-12 Education
Many American elementary and secondary schools claim to teach to the whole child, but few actually ground their programs in a holistic view of human development.
We live at an odd time betwixt and between old religious and philosophical truths and an undefined open future, and so the purposes of education are in question. Secular approaches neglect the child’s natural spirituality and ignore the most important factor in meeting our futures, our unrelenting curiosity about who we are and why we are here; that is, our questions about, and natural orientation towards, transcendence. Faith-based schools in turn run the risk of sacrificing rigorous critical thinking and intellectual development on the altar of limiting religious belief. Becoming a whole person is an inquiry that requires discipline and a truly open mind and heart, but most schools slam doors shut in their march towards measurable educational outcomes, college readiness, or guarding the faith.
