Bergen Ethical Culture Society

The parents of Ethical Culture Sunday School students are a group of freethinkers who want to encourage their children to have tolerance, respect and good moral values.

We welcome anyone who shares these goals to come and meet us and expand the discussion.  We are holding a Parenting Meeting and Sunday School Open House on March 12^th from 3:00pm to 5:00pm at our meeting house: 687 Larch Avenue, Teaneck, NJ 07666.  There will be a supervised activity for children ages 3-12 and healthy refreshments will be served.

Our discussion topic will be “the challenge of raising moral children in today’s society”.  Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences with the group.

For more information and to reserve a place at the meeting please contact the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County at 201-836-5187 or  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

 Families of all backgrounds, particularly those with mixed religious heritage, trust Ethical Culture to provide a caring community in which children up to age 14 can learn to find answers to the most important questions in life.

Society members teaching in our Sunday School use age appropriate curricula to help children understand themselves, their relationships to others around them and the world they live in.

Kids make friends and have fun as they gradually develop their own sense of morality and their own humanistic ideals. 

These are some of the goals of the Ethical Culture Sunday School: 

Elementary

Who Is a Hero?

The Elementary Class will study a series of characters to investigate what character traits people have who exemplify the Ethical Core Values. From this, they will be able to create a personal and class definition of “hero.” The students will be examining fictional characters, superheroes, real children and adults—from our time and place as well as historical and world-wide—and interviewing the grown-ups they know and love to find out about the people they admire. The students will create a scrapbook of heroes and their qualities to take home at the end of the year.
