Signal Hill Career and Health Education Resources

Signal Hill Curriculum Resources

The Signal Hill Curriculum is a collection of free, developmentally appropriate, values-based lesson bundles designed to help children and teens grow in emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and interpersonal skills. Units support children in discovering their intrinsic value and equip them with tools to navigate relationships, life choices, and personal growth. While the resources are not specifically faith-based, lessons can be infused with a Christian worldview perspective throughout. 

Signal Hill lessons are created by educators and made available through the Signal Hill Life Education Society, a nonprofit organization which focuses on promoting human dignity, mental wellness, and character development in young people.
