Christian Education in the Lower School is separated
into three main areas: Faith Formation in the 1st-4th grades, and 5th grade and 6th grade participating in separate sections of VVI for Christ (Roman Numerals for 5 and 6). Faith Formation in the 1st – 4th grades is led by led by Denise Jarrett who is not only a parent of two All Saints students, Rachel and Mic, but is also an active member of Christ Episcopal Church and sits on the vestry there.

As the title implies, these classes are to help with the formation of our students’ faith. We are using a curriculum called Living the Good News based on the Episcopal lectionary that involves reading scriptures and activities related to that lesson.

“VVI” for Christ” is the Christian Formation for grades 5 and 6. It is a program created by two of the staff members of Christ Episcopal Church who incorporate games and other initiatives (as well as study and discussion) in order that students come to have a better understanding of their role in community as God’s people. The Director of Children’s Ministry at Christ Episcopal Church, Anne Spear, leads the 5th graders, and the Middle School Youth Director at Christ Episcopal Church, Bobbie Schroeder, works with the 6th graders. Every fifth and sixth grader has “VVI for Christ” once a week.
