CHRISTOLOGY and INTRODUCTION TO ECCLESSIOLOGY

Program Standard
The students will be able to demonstrate sound understanding of the
concepts of responsibility toward the self, family, others, environment, country and God.
and make responsible decisions and choices, live orderly and peacefully for the greater
and common good. [ DepEd]

The Christian Life Education curriculum hopes to imbibe to our students the Ignatian
values, rooted in Jesus’ teachings, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and sustained by the
Father’s love and providence. Thus, at the end of the four- year CLE program, we
envisioned a Christ- centered, critical, discerning Ateneo graduate who reflects the Jesuit
charism of being men and women for others and who actively serves as catalysts for
authentic social transformation.
[ ADDU]

General Standard

The Christian Life Education curriculum for Grade 8 hopes the students to
demonstrate a deep understanding of the roles and importance of a family as a
foundation for interpersonal relationship leading toward becoming a responsible
citizen and sons and daughters of God. [ DepEd]

The Grade 8 Christian Life curriculum calls students to open both the mind and
hearts to Jesus, and relate to Him as a Friend and Personal Savior. It challenges
the students to deepen his/ her personal relationship with Jesus by becoming
more free and more open to participate in the Church’s mission, which is the
building of God’s Kingdom, an on-going mission of Christ in the world. Thus, at
the end of the school year, the students learn more about Jesus and know Him
personally as a friend and Savior, believe in Him and live out His teachings.
