CHRIST- CENTERED CURRICULUM

Christ – Character - Competence

STORY BEHIND THIS
CURRICULUM
Our story of this DAIE curriculum began with a deep desire to provide
an educational experience that would not only nurture students'
intellectual growth but also foster their spiritual formation and
character development. We recognized the need for an education that
integrated faith, knowledge, and Christian values in a cohesive and
intentional manner. Drawing inspiration from our own personal faith
journeys, and experiences as educators, theologians, and curriculum
specialists embarked on the journey of creating a curriculum that
would be firmly rooted in Christ. Our team spent countless hours
studying the Scriptures, researching best practices in education, and
seeking guidance from trusted mentors and spiritual leaders. We
delved into the teachings of Jesus, the wisdom of biblical figures, and
the timeless truths found in the Word of God. It was through this
exploration and prayerful reflection that the foundations of our DAIE
curriculum began to take shape.

We recognized the importance of integrating faith and learning, as

well as the profound impact that a Christ-centered education can
have on students' lives. We envisioned a curriculum that would not
compartmentalize faith but rather weave it seamlessly into every
subject and aspect of school life. We believed that education should
be a transformative journey that not only equips students with
knowledge but also helps them develop a strong moral compass,
deepens their understanding of God's love, and empowers them to
live out their faith in practical ways. Through collaboration, creativity,
and a commitment to excellence, our team carefully crafted a
curriculum that embraces the values of love, compassion, integrity,
and service. We designed lessons, activities, and assessments that
would engage students intellectually while also nurturing their
spiritual growth and character development. As we embarked on
implementing this curriculum, we witnessed the profound impact it
had on students' lives. We saw young minds and hearts being shaped
by the transformative power of God's Word. We observed students
not only excelling academically but also developing a strong sense of
purpose, a deep love for others, and a passion for making a positive
difference in the world.

Our story behind this DAIE curriculum is one of unwavering

commitment to providing an education that truly transforms lives. We
continue to evolve and refine our curriculum, seeking to remain
faithful to our mission while adapting to the changing needs of our
students and society. We are honored to be part of a journey that
empowers students to become lifelong followers of Christ, equipped
to impact their communities and contribute to God's Kingdom.

Vision Statement: Our DAIE curriculum envisions nurturing

students who are deeply rooted in their faith, equipped with
knowledge, and empowered to positively impact the world around
them. We strive to cultivate disciples of Christ who embody
compassion, integrity, and transformative love that reflects God's
grace.

Mission Statement: Our mission is to provide an exceptional Christ-

centered education that integrates faith, character development, and
academic excellence. We aim to create a learning environment where
students grow spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.

OUR INSPIRATION: We seek to inspire students to develop a

personal relationship with Jesus Christ and live out their faith in
meaningful ways.

INSPIRING MINDSET
Within the context of a Christ-Centered Curriculum, the DAIE
curriculum employs the Gamaliel viewpoint. Even if it does not
directly connect to a commonly accepted notion or practice. Gamaliel
appears in the Book of Acts in the New Testament. DAIE Curriculum
draws inspiration from Gamaliel's approach to learning, wisdom, and
discernment, but there is no particular Gamaliel mindset linked with
a Christ-Centered Curriculum. Gamaliel was noted for his open-
mindedness, respect for different points of view, and readiness to
accept new ideas. The principles of open-mindedness, respect,

2
intellectual curiosity, discernment, and faith integration are useful
guiding principles for both educators and students seeking a
comprehensive and Christ-centered education. Through the DAIE
Curriculum, teachers and educators are instructed to apply Gamaliel's
principles in advocating for intellectual freedom and a balanced
approach to education:

Open Mindedness Encouraging students to explore

different perspectives, ask questions,
and engage in critical thinking within
the framework of their faith.
Respect for Creating an inclusive learning environment
diverse that respects the backgrounds, experiences,
viewpoints and opinions of all students, fostering
dialogue and understanding.
Intellectual Cultivating a love for learning and a thirst for
curiosity knowledge, inspiring students to seek
wisdom and understanding in both biblical
teachings and academic subjects.
Discernment Guiding students to discern truth and align
their learning with the principles of the
Christian faith, helping them evaluate ideas,
theories, and information through a biblical
lens.
Integration of Encouraging students to see the connections
faith and learning between their faith and their education,
understanding that all knowledge and
wisdom ultimately find their source in God.

 INTERNATIONAL DAIE
CURRICULUM RECOGNITION
The value and impact of Dei Assessment International Education
(DAIE) are now widely recognized, and we are humbled and grateful
to receive accreditation for Dei Assessment International Education
(DAIE), reinforcing our commitment to fostering an educational
community that embraces Christian values and promotes academic
excellence by the International Commission for Education
Accreditation Seminary (ICFEAS) in collaboration with the
International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-tertiary and
High School Education and Institute of Total Quality Service
Measurements (ITQSM) with the certificate number: ICFEAS NO.
236749.

Dei Assessment International Education embraces a Christ-centered

curriculum that challenges the notion of spirituality and academic
excellence being mutually exclusive, affirming that both thrive
together.

The goal of our curriculum development is to consistently remind

pupils of their status as God's children. We emphasize that their
academic accomplishments are a reflection of their partnership with
Him, as they rely on His grace and wisdom throughout their
educational endeavors.

The verification of our curriculum by esteemed institutions like Dei

Institute - Online University and the Dei African Research Center in
Ethiopia is a testament to its excellence. We are proud to have
received their recognition and endorsement for our holistic approach
to education. And we are passionate about equipping students with a
solid academic foundation while instilling strong Christian values. And
we invite institutions and schools to join us in adopting our
curriculum, working together to shape a generation that embraces
faith, wisdom, and integrity.

INTRODUCTION
No, any government can train our children to be content characters.
No matter who is in the State House. If we do not take the initiative
to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ through the development of
education curricula and get them approved as the worldwide quality
standard for allowing all private international schools to teach Christ,
then can be a challenge to change the society. The goal of any
successful education is to create graduates who will have an impact
after leaving school but not many graduates for the sake of
graduating. The ultimate goal of successful education in any society
is to produce students who are content characters. And, it has been
proved that no one can be a content character if they are uncertain
about their identity, lacks character, and lacks competency in all they
do.

We cannot anticipate that a secular education will mold our kids and
help them remember who they are. The term secular originates from
the Greek word “without God." And this shows that we are supporting
an education that lacks Godly insights while expecting it to generate
godly leaders, godly husbands, godly citizens, responsible people,
and so on. And I agree with Albert Einstein's observation that
"insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting
different results." That is to say, we cannot continue to support
secular education and expect different results. Education has a
tremendous impact on people's understanding of themselves and the
world around them. Education not only gives information and skills,
but it also has the capacity to build character and develop
competencies. Education places a high value on character
development. It entails developing attributes like honesty, empathy,
accountability, resilience, and ethical decision-making. As a result,
we think that education also gives an opportunity for people to reflect

7
on their values, beliefs, and conduct, supporting personal growth and
the development of desirable character qualities. Our educational
program will provide our students with the skills and information will
need to traverse all facets of life, such as critical thinking, problem-
solving, communication, creativity, and collaboration.

Additionally, this curriculum will serve as a reminder to our kids of

the importance of competence for individual achievement,
professional advancement, and meaningful societal contribution. As
we know that character development and competency building are
ongoing processes that occur throughout a person's life. Education
will serve as a foundation for our children through this curriculum,
allowing them to study and grow outside of official educational
settings. Our education curriculum goes beyond academic
achievements, where grading is not only considered an academic
achievement but also character development content that contributes
to a more comprehensive and holistic education, fostering the
development of well-rounded people who possess not only knowledge
and skills but also strong character traits.

Dei Assessment International Education wants our students to

get a deep understanding and apply for subject matter knowledge.
Whereby grades and assessments will be useful for evaluating
academic progress, the focus should not solely be on achieving high
marks. Instead, we will prioritize conceptual comprehension, critical
thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and the capacity to apply
information to real-life circumstances. And as a result, they will be
able to appreciate the value of character and subject matter
knowledge. With a thorough basis for personal development, social
involvement, and lifelong learning. This curriculum will remind
children of their beliefs, identity, and purpose, while also highlighting
the significance of character development and competency growth.

8
These factors all contribute to an individual's holistic development
and capacity to live meaningful and fulfilled lives.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is crucial in teaching children about their

values, identity, and purpose. Christians are led in their knowledge
of right and evil, their connection with God, and their sense of
purpose in life by the life and teachings of Jesus as they are recorded
in the Bible. This framework serves as a moral and spiritual compass.
The gospel of Jesus promotes principles such as love, compassion,
forgiveness, humility, and service to others. The gospel of Jesus
develops a person's character and influences how they treat others,
making ethical-decisions, and interact with the world around them.
Individuals with intrinsic value and love from God are emphasized in
Christian theology. This concept can help children develop a sense of
identity and purpose by teaching them that they have a special role
to play in God's plan and are called to embody their faith in their
everyday lives. Our education curriculum gives them a purpose and
a sense of direction as they travel along their personal and spiritual
journeys.

DEI ASSESSMENT
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
Dei assessment international education is a Christ-centered
curriculum that assists our students in incorporating gospel teachings
and values into a variety of courses and elements of learning. This
curriculum places Jesus Christ at the Centre of education and seeks
to nurture students' understanding of their faith, biblical values, and
Christian worldview. Language arts, mathematics, science, social
studies, and the arts are taught in a way that connects students to
the gospel of Jesus. This curriculum will also include the study of
Scripture, devotional activities, prayer, and the exploration of
Christian themes and principles across different disciplines.

DAIE is a pure Christ-centered Curriculum whereby it places Jesus

Christ and Christian principles as the Centre of teaching and learning.
The idea behind this curriculum is not to install religious feelings in
children. DAIE aims to integrate faith and academics, emphasizing
the teachings of Jesus Christ and promoting spiritual growth
alongside intellectual development. DAIE provides a holistic
education that nurtures the whole person - body, mind, and spirit.
This helps to install values such as love, compassion, integrity, and
service, based on the teachings of Christ. This approach recognizes
that education is not limited to academic knowledge but also
encompassed character development and moral formation. Subjects
such as mathematics, science, Artificial intelligence, literature, and
history are taught within the framework of a Christian worldview,
relating them to biblical principles and Christian values.

DAIE is a Christ-centered curriculum for an early childhood program

designed to provide young children with a solid foundation in both

10
academic and spiritual development, incorporating Christian
principles and values into every aspect of their learning experience.

Here are some key elements that are included in a curriculum for
early childhood:

1. Bible Stories and Scripture: Children will be introduced to

age-appropriate Bible stories and verses. Teachers will be
advised to engage pupils in interactive storytelling, songs, and
activities that help them to understand basic biblical truths and
teachings.
2. Character Formation: Character development is always a
significant focus in a DAIE early childhood curriculum. Teachers
will use stories, play-based activities, and role-playing to teach
virtues such as kindness, honesty, love, sharing, forgiveness,
and respect for others. Students learn to apply these virtues in
their daily interactions with peers and adults.
3. Prayer and Worship: DAIE would like to remind pupils that
prayers and worship are not religious activities, but rather a
way of life. Students will participate in basic prayers, praise
songs, and age-appropriate devotional activities. Teachers will
be expected to provide a caring atmosphere that enables kids
to form their own identities, form relationships with God, and
express their emotions through prayer. A spirit-filled
generation.
4. Play-Based Learning: Play is an essential component of early
childhood education, and the DAIE recognizes the value of play
in children's development. Teachers will create play-based
activities and learning centers that include Christian themes
and values, allowing children to explore, experiment, and
discover while interacting with biblical principles.
5. Academic Foundations: DAIE also includes a focus on
foundational academic skills. Students are exposed to early

11
 reading and numeracy concepts in this curriculum through
hands-on activities, games, and age-appropriate resources.
Christian themes, tales, and values will be included in lessons,
making learning relevant and accessible.
6. Creative Arts and Music: DAIE will introduce pupils to
creative expression opportunities through art, music, and
movement. Teachers will be responsible for guiding students in
the creation of artwork and crafts based on biblical stories or
Christian themes. Music and songs may include hymns, worship
songs, and songs that reinforce biblical teachings.
7. Social and Emotional Development: Early social and
emotional development in children is significant, according to
DAIE. Teachers will be expected to foster a supportive and
inclusive classroom climate in which children feel secure
expressing their feelings, developing social skills, and forming
meaningful connections with others. The emphasis will be on
compassion, sharing, teamwork, and kindness to others.
8. Nature and Creation Appreciation: DAIE will assist students
in engaging in activities that will help them appreciate God's
creation and the natural world. Teachers will be required to
integrate outdoor exploration, nature walks, gardening, and
environmental awareness activities to create a feeling of
wonder and thankfulness for God's creation.
9. Service and Community Engagement: DAIE believes that
even at an early age, children may begin to comprehend the
value of helping others and having a beneficial impact on their
society. Teachers will be obliged to propose modest initiatives,
such as collecting funds for a local charity or engaging in
community clean-up activities, and to teach the virtue of
compassion and helping others.

12
The Goals of Dei Assessment International Education will
include:

Spiritual formation Fostering students' personal

relationship with Jesus Christ,
nurturing their faith, and encouraging
spiritual growth.
Character Emphasizing Christian virtues such as love,
development kindness, honesty, and integrity, and
guiding students to apply these values in
their daily lives.
Integration of faith Helping students understand how their faith
and learning informs and influences their understanding
of different subjects and aspects of life.
Biblical literacy Equipping students with a solid
understanding of Scripture and the ability to
apply biblical teachings to their lives.
Service and Helping students understand how their faith
mission informs and influences their understanding
of different subjects and aspects of life.

It should be noted that Dei Assessment International Education

does not install Christian Religious Education or Divinity Studies to
our children, but rather a pure content curriculum in which our pupil’s
study and develop into the content character. Dei assessment
international education focus on pure content that aims to provide
students with a deep understanding of Christian beliefs, teachings,
and values, as well as the ability to critically engage with and apply
this knowledge to their lives. It seeks to cultivate a strong foundation
in Christian faith and equip students with the tools to navigate the
complexities of the world through a Christian lens. Three fundamental

13
ideas that are at the heart of Dei Assessment International Education
are the following, Christ, Character, and Competence.

CHRIST CHARACTER COMPETENCE

1. CHRIST
A healthy identity comes from understanding the truth about
ourselves. Our deepest yearning is to understand where we came
from and the purpose for which we were made. Many parents have
no answers to these questions or neglect to give their children the
confidence that comes from knowing God. Teaching students through
the lens of the gospel of Jesus Christ as described, involves infusing
Christian beliefs, values, and teachings throughout the curriculum
and educational practices. By integrating the person of Jesus Christ,
his life, teachings, and the principles found in the Bible, students are
exposed to a comprehensive worldview that encompasses spiritual,
moral, and ethical dimensions. And this approach seeks to address
the deep yearning for purpose and meaning that individuals often
experience. By incorporating the gospel of Jesus Christ into the
learning experience, students can explore their origins, understand
their identity as created beings, and discern their purpose following
Christian beliefs. This approach aims to nurture students' spiritual
growth, provide a Christian worldview, and guide their character
development. Create an educational environment that is consistent
with their beliefs and values through DAIE. As part of the educational
experience, this includes prayers, Bible study, Chapel Services, and

14
Christian Ethics. Teachers in these environments frequently work to
provide a good example for children by acting in a manner that
reflects Christ and encourages them to exhibit Christian
characteristics like love, forgiveness, humility, and compassion.

Our curriculum goes beyond religious feelings, which means that we

don't want to promote religious feelings in our students, but rather
to create a learning environment that projects love, justice, and
empathy, encourages moral behaviors, fosters a sense of belonging
to the community, and fosters care for others. The significance of
Christ in education reflects the views and ideals of individuals who
consider Christ as the Centre of their faith and work to apply his
teachings to the educational process. Understanding our identity and
values in Christ Jesus lies at the heart of Christian beliefs and faiths.
Teaching the gospel of Jesus gives a foundation for students to
comprehend who they are and what values they should uphold.

Our pupils will have a firm knowledge of their identity and beliefs as
a result:

• Identity in Christ:
Understanding one's identity as anchored in Christ is a significant
aspect of Christian belief. For Christian students, recognizing
themselves as God's children, redeemed by the sacrificial love of
Jesus, and indwelt by the Holy Spirit is foundational to their faith
and personal identity. Believing that their identity is rooted in
Christ helps students find a sense of belonging and purpose. They
understand that they are part of a larger spiritual family and that
their lives have meaning and significance in God's plan. This
understanding provides a firm foundation for their self-worth and
installs a sense of value and purpose beyond worldly measures.
By recognizing themselves as God's children, students understand
that their worth is not based on their achievements, appearance,

15
 or external validation, but on the unconditional love and grace of
God. This knowledge fosters a sense of security, acceptance, and
worthiness, which can positively impact their self-esteem and
well-being. Furthermore, understanding one's identity in Christ
can provide a sense of purpose. Christian students must believe
that they are called to live out their faith, love and serve others,
and make a positive impact in the world. This awareness of
purpose gives them direction, motivation, and a framework for
making choices aligned with their Christian values. Embracing
their identity as God's children also influences how students view
themselves and others. They are encouraged to see the inherent
value and worth in themselves and every individual, treating
others with love, respect, and dignity.

• Moral and Ethical Values:

The gospel of Jesus Christ provides a moral compass for
Christians, and when it is taught in schools that embrace Christian
values, it can have a significant impact on shaping character and
guiding interactions among students and within the school
community. The teachings of Jesus, as found in the gospel,
emphasize love, compassion, forgiveness, humility, honesty, and
integrity. These teachings serve as a foundation for ethical
conduct and guide individuals in their interactions with others.
When students are exposed to the gospel and its teachings within
an educational setting, it can help cultivate a sense of morality
and encourage positive behavior. By integrating the gospel into
the school curriculum and educational practices, students have the
opportunity to learn about and internalize the values and
teachings of Jesus Christ. This can lead to the development of
character traits such as kindness, empathy, respect, and fairness.
Moreover, the gospel's emphasis on love and compassion

16
 promotes a culture of inclusion and care for others. It encourages
students to treat their peers with kindness and understanding,
fostering positive relationships, and reducing conflict within the
school community. Teaching the gospel in schools also provides a
framework for resolving conflicts and making ethical decisions.
Students can draw upon the teachings of Jesus to navigate
challenging situations, seek reconciliation, and make choices that
align with their Christian values. It's important to note that the
integration of the gospel into the school curriculum should be done
with sensitivity and respect for the diverse beliefs and
backgrounds of students. Schools that embrace Christian values
should create an inclusive and welcoming environment, where
students of all faiths or no faith feel respected and supported.

• Servant Leadership:
Through DAIE this will highlight the importance of encouraging
students to follow Jesus' example of servanthood leadership. The
aim of this curriculum is to create a strong society that fosters
leaders who know God, love people, and exercise their leadership
through servanthood. Teaching and promoting servant leadership
in education have a profound effect on students' character
development and their ability to make positive contributions to
society. The aim also is to create a mindset of service,
compassionate and caring society to come. Through DAIE will
remind students to put others selflessly by instilling value in
students, and seeking opportunities to help, support and uplift
others. Servant leaders prioritize the needs of others, showing
empathy and compassion in their interactions. By teaching
students to consider the well-being and interests of others, learn
to make decisions and take actions that benefit the greater good.
This focus on others fosters a sense of community and

17
 cooperation. Servant leaders are committed to making a positive
impact in their communities. They actively seek opportunities to
address social issues, promote justice, and improve the lives of
those around them. By cultivating this mindset in students, they
develop a sense of responsibility towards their communities and a
desire to contribute to positive change. Servant leadership
emphasizes humility, recognizing that leadership is not about
exerting power and control but about serving others with humility
and grace. Students will learn the importance of listening, learning
from others, and valuing diverse perspectives. Humility helps
create a more inclusive and collaborative society. By integrating
servant leadership principles into education, students can develop
the skills, mindset, and values necessary to become
compassionate, servant-hearted leaders. This approach not only
molds future leaders but also contributes to the overall well-being
and flourishing of communities.

It's important to note that implementing a curriculum framework like

DAIE requires careful planning, teacher training, and ongoing
support. Creating a culture of servant leadership in education
involves modelling the principles, providing opportunities for service
and leadership development, and fostering a supportive learning
environment. By nurturing servant leaders, education can have a
transformative impact on individuals and society, fostering a culture
of service, compassion, and positive change.

• Transformation and Growth:

Christians always believe in the transformative power of Christ's
teaching and the Holy Spirit. They seek to grow spiritually, developing
Christ-like virtues and aligning their values with God's Word. This
growth involves a lifelong process of learning, repentance, and
conforming to the image of Christ. Understanding one's identity and

18
values in Christ Jesus is a personal and ongoing journey for
Christians. It involves studying and meditating on the teachings of
Jesus, prayer, fellowship with other believers, and applying biblical
principles to daily life. Through this process, Christians seek to align
their identity and values with the person and teachings of Jesus
Christ. The integration of DAIE serves as a reminder to students that
the teaching of Jesus, prayer life, and fellowship with others are not
religious practices but are intended to be woven into their daily lives.
This understanding emphasizes the holistic nature of the Christian
faith and encourages students to apply their beliefs and values in all
aspects of life, including academics, relationships, and personal
growth. By incorporating these elements into education, students are
encouraged to actively engage with their faith, develop character,
and build a strong foundation rooted in Christ. It can help shape their
worldview, guide their actions, and foster a sense of purpose and
fulfilment in their lives.

2. CHARACTER
DAIE is a childhood curriculum that deals with developmentally
appropriate, engaging, and hands-on, considering the unique needs
and interests of Children. This curriculum aims to lay a strong
spiritual and academic foundation while nurturing a love of God,
others, and learning. Through that, DAIE will use various characters
