As a child begins to become more self-aware, Kindergarten is an opportune time to introduce the concept of “human dignity.” In Grade K, an understanding of human dignity as their special value as human persons is established in lessons through song, dance, and play. A fundamental understanding of the different living beings and their basic powers (such as to eat, grow, etc.) is taught in the succeeding classes. This lays the groundwork to differentiate human beings by our unique powers: to think and to choose. Students can then connect this with choices that will not only make them excellent, but also build excellent relationships through solidarity, kindness, and generosity. The lesson concludes in placing the students on the path of aspiring towards heroic excellence.
