Description
Summary:Relational spirituality describes ways in which people are connected to each other on a deeply spiritual level. This article presents a qualitative case study of three schools which shows how relational spirituality impacts education. At each of these schools, relational spirituality is a central driver of the school’s mission and purpose. Relational spirituality is life-changing for students at these schools; they were seen, known, and valued for themselves and built meaningful relationships with faculty and staff. Through these relationships, students are able to transcend diverse challenging circumstances and flourish.
