The STEPS program is a comprehensive character- and values-building curriculum covering 40 different study topics for ages 4 to 12. The STEPS program is made up of two one-year curriculums: the Foundations of Faith and Character Building series. Each series includes 20 Student Books, a program Handbook and a Sing Along audio CD, containing the songs included in the series. Numerous supplementary materials are also available to enhance the STEPS program.

    The STEPS program is the result of the dedicated efforts of volunteer missionaries who, through working with officials, teachers, parents, caregivers and children in a number of African countries, identified the desperate need for a Christian and character building curriculum.

    In the STEPS program, purposeful stories set the stage for reflection and group discussion on the study topic. Large picture pages illustrate the lesson, and bring each story to life. Study aids and supplementary materials include activity pages, project guides, interactive games, drama, songs & more!
