21V

Living with Virtue in the 21st Century

We appreciate that our students are open to talking with their teachers and asking hard questions. Over the years, it has become evident that our students want to live for God but sometimes struggle with how to do so in the culture they encounter each day.

In response, our ALCS middle and high school staff tackle real-world issues students face, boldly inviting conversation while rooting everything in a Biblical perspective. Through these conversations, our faculty have created an initiative that provides space for students to ask questions, engage in discussion, and learn how to apply Biblical truth to the world around them.

21V: Living with Virtue in the 21st Century is designed to train students to: 

“Glorify God with your private and public life — both online and offline.” 

Key Verse

TITUS 2:11–12

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘no’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.”
 

Our Objective

Our objective is to equip students to navigate 21st-century issues with Biblical truth, wisdom, and courage.

PROVIDING RESOURCES
Provide resources for families and teachers.

INTEGRATING BIBLICAL TRUTH
Integrate Biblical truth at age-appropriate levels in the classroom, at Chapel, and at home.  

CREATING SPACE FOR CONVERSATION
Intentionally teach and discuss 21st-century issues in a safe environment. 
 

Topics We Explore

21V topics may include:

  • Identity in Christ
  • Relationships, both online and offline
  • The purpose and parameters of sex, comparing Biblical and societal views
  • Safe and unsafe touch
  • Reproduction and development
  • Mental health
  • Digital citizenship

Topics are taught using age-appropriate methods, and not every grade will discuss every topic. Parents will be informed of topics and dates in advance and will have the opportunity to opt out. Families will also receive resources to help continue these conversations at home.
 

A Partership With Parents

21V is a partnership between parents and Abundant Life Christian School. Students have questions, and if we are not helping them understand God's truth, they may seek answers from places or people who do not share a Biblical worldview.

Our goal is to create a safe environment where students can ask difficult questions, engage in honest conversations, and learn to navigate the challenges of their culture through the truth of God's Word.
