The Teen Star program uses proven techniques to teach chastity to adolescents.

The Teen STAR program . . .

  • Is a unique program for education in human sexuality. 
  • Engages the experience of the woman’s fertility sign centrally in the learning experience  to integrate it with the emotional (affective) intellectual, relational  and spiritual aspects of human sexuality. 
  • Includes developmentally appropriate curricula designed for  early, middle and late adolescence.
