“The Safeguards School Curriculum is an excellent curriculum for teaching our young children safety skills for their lives. It is easy to follow and well laid out with age-appropriate activities and learning objectives. The parents’ page is excellent for helping parents continue learning at home. This curriculum is essential for our day.”

Ronald L. Jones, MDiv, Campus Pastor, Faith Christian Academy

“In my judgment, few needs are more urgent in this generation than training in biblical discernment. At the same time, few priorities are more vital than the safety of God’s children. I’m encouraged to see a resource that thoughtfully addresses both, while also honoring the deeply Christian principle of parental authority. May God bless this work for the good of his people.”

Shane Arnold, PhD, MDiv, Head of School, Christ’s Legacy Academy

“Grounded in biblical principles, Safeguards School Curriculum educates children on the fundamentals of unsafe behaviors and situations. This text not only instills godly discernment and healthy boundaries within students, but equips them to identify, prevent, and report abuse—knowledge every child should acquire. This curriculum is beyond essential and should be utilized in every Christian school and homeschool environment.”

“As a Christian school educator for over two decades, I can say that a rich resource to equip students with safety skills is long overdue. But the wait is now over. This curriculum is not only theologically and biblically grounded—it’s also academically organized, pedagogically engaging, and winsomly creative. I am thrilled that there is now an exceptional resource for schools to engage these critical topics.”

Ty Faulk, Dean of Spiritual Development, The King’s Academy

"As an attorney who works with homeschool support groups and co-ops nationwide, I consistently encourage leaders to implement a comprehensive child protection plan. Safeguards School Curriculum is an outstanding resource to support this effort. It equips children with practical safety skills grounded in biblical wisdom, avoiding fear-based approaches. I highly recommend this curriculum to any homeschool co-op or support group seeking a Christ-centered, effective tool for promoting child safety."
