Throughout the formation process at Colegio Andino, it is fundamental to consolidate spaces for reflection on relationships with others and with the transcendent. In this direction, students can attend ethics or religion classes each year in the intermediate school.
The fact that students (with their parents’ advice) can choose between these two classes does not mean that they are conflicting scenarios, but rather that they are two perspectives that allow reflection on human behavior.
In this sense, while the religion class is oriented to developing a religious culture based on different approaches (for example, the study of the history of religions), the ethics class focuses on how we behave1 and justify such behaviors.
In other words, the religion class opens spaces to think about the religious fact in history, that is, how man has configured his relationship with the transcendent.
On the other hand, the ethics class seeks the development of argumentative skills around the construction of ethical judgments about the actions that take place in one’s life history, in moral dilemmas, in literature, and current contexts such as social networks or the media.
