Adonai
Stories that change hearts from the inside out.
Our very first curriculum — and the reason for our existence. We built Adonai to help teachers and adults share values with children.
“Even when we are angry, we can love.”
— one lesson’s message
Where Curriculum Plus began
The curriculum that started everything.
Adonai is Curriculum Plus’ very first curriculum, and the reason for our existence. Everything we have written since — every lesson plan, every programme — grew out of one conviction: that teachers and adults should be equipped to share values with children.
The shape of a year
Old Testament, then New ; every year.
Semester 1
Old Testament
Children journey through the foundational stories, meeting the characters and moments that shape the year’s messages.
Semester 2
New Testament
The story continues: carrying each message forward and rooting it in the life children are learning to live.
Every lesson carries a message
“Even when we are angry, we can love”
“Be a blessing”
“Choose people over money”
Each story ends with a message that changes hearts from the inside out, not a rule to follow, but a truth to carry.
A four-year programme
Four years, four ways to know God.
Each year of Adonai opens a different facet — so by the end, children hold a whole picture rather than a single idea.
Year One
King
the lion
Knowing God as king — authority, majesty, and a kingdom worth belonging to.
Year Two
Sacrifice
the ox
Knowing God as sacrifice — service, giving, and love that costs something.
Year Three
Man
the man
Knowing God as man — nearness, compassion, and a life children can look to.
Year Four
Holy
the eagle
Knowing God as holy — wonder, reverence, and a horizon bigger than ourselves.
