CLASSROOM EDUCATION
| Abstinence Education in the Classroom |
|
| All ABC for Teens facilitators are certified in abstinence education. |
The ABC for teens classes are taught in public and private schools, youth organizations, churches and other settings
in Citrus, Hernando, Lake and Sumter Counties. The classes cover goal setting, media and consumer literacy, risks of
sex and sexual activity, establishing and maintaining boundaries, refusal skills, healthy relationships, marriage preparation,
and commitment to abstinence.
There is a different curriculum for each grade level from sixth through twelfth grades so that all information is age-appropriate.
The classes are highly interactive and the teachers utilize the most current best practice teaching methods and
brain-based learning strategies to enhance student's retention of the information, concepts and skills taught in
each session.
If you are interested in boldly supporting the abstinence message, Puritee Wear is an excellent choice and will donate
20% of the proceeds of sales linked from the CCC-ABC link to our program. Please click on the link below to check out
