MTS 501 - Practical Life and Cosmic Education
This course reviews the underlying reality of the human child as a developing subject within family life, society, and the Church. Children and adults who are living authentic lives thirst to bring beauty and goodness to all that they do. Lessons and materials in art, music, drama, poetry, language, and dance provide children with a profound sense of the dignity of their own lives and all of creation. This unfolds into a cosmic narrative regarding all of life. Through a close examination of key practical life and cosmic lessons, students will be introduced to the nature of each sensitive period of the child, how the lesson fits into the larger growth of the child, and how the lesson opens the doors to some feature of the cosmos or history. As well, students will learn how these lessons provide keys into a life of common sense and creativity, and how these various activities fulfill curricular requirements of the state and the Church.

These lessons will be examined across all stages of human development from the youngest stages of childhood through adolescence. Over time, these help to build a strong imagination and memory that then differentiates in signs and symbols for language and higher orders of understanding, knowledge, and wisdom. Children will learn their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as how their differences, especially as male and female, provide a complement throughout the fabric of creation and salvation.
