Early Childhood Programmes
These programmes are part of an international vision to reach young children around the world during the early stages of their development. Children before the age of six or seven are in the process of constructing an understanding of God, themselves, and the world in which they live. The early childhood programmes are committed to disciple young children through biblically sound, culturally sensitive curricula.
The early childhood programmes are designed to allow each child to succeed in his or her daily activities at school, thus building a healthy self-concept, while learning to have enthusiasm for the challenge of new or difficult work. In this way the children will approach school with the belief that they can succeed at learning.
Primary, Intermediate, and Secondary Schools
Youth With A Mission operates a number of schools at various levels. These are available to the College/Faculty of Education for programme development and teacher training. These schools exist for the purpose of training children and youth to know God in their daily lives, to have a Christian view of themselves and the world around them, and to accept their part in the challenge of world evangelization as a way of life.
These schools are distinctive in that each school’s curriculum is the result of prayer and discussion for what is appropriate for a particular school and period of time. Teachers are also committed to discovering and drawing out the creative gifts of each child in their care.
These school programmes are not available in all locations where courses are offered from the U of N.
