About Us
Remember Whose You Are is a Biblically-based, scientifically-accurate, four-unit curriculum designed to show students how human sexuality is rooted in Gospel identity.
Building upon a developmentally appropriate year-by-year foundation, Remember Whose You Are combines a systematic study of Genesis 1-3 (integrated with other supportive Scriptural texts) alongside evidence-based scientific research.
Students will investigate how being made in the image of the Creator God and being created for His glory gives basis and belonging to being made individually as male and female, in addition to being made for relationship (within the context of marriage & sex). Students will also examine how the fall of man distorts (but does not destroy) this God-given design. Subsequently, students will consider how to navigate current culture in light of living out Biblical principles related to gospel identity & human sexuality, preparing them to make holy and healthy choices that honor God, others, and themselves.

Testimonials
Cassie Meiss, Board Member & Business Director, Southside Christian Academy
“RWYA is one of a kind in the way it takes the critical topics of human growth and development and marriage and family, and it grounds them right where they should be in Genesis 1-3. These concepts were created by God, and it only makes sense to start with teaching students what God did and says about these critical topics. This curriculum is easy to use and adapt to your school and specific needs; it has been a great way to start and encourage open communication with students about topics that the world has tried to hijack from the Truth of God's Word.”
Parker Smith, Student Life Director & RWYA Trained Educator, North Cobb Christian School
“The content covered in Remember Whose You Are explores what God's Word says about human sexuality and God's design for sex, marriage, and relationships. This program presents sex as a good gift created by a good God and should be enjoyed within His design and for His glory. Although sin has twisted God's good design in today's world, the Gospel can redeem and restore. Remember Whose You Are approaches the subject of sexuality delicately, yet helpfully and remains faithful to God's Word through and through.”
Elizabeth Cossick, North Cobb Christian School Parent
“As a mom of three children, two boys and one girl, I am immensely grateful for the Remember Whose You Are program at North Cobb Christian School. As a parent, we cringe, pray, and ultimately have tough conversations with our kids about physical development, identity, sex, and biblical boundaries. Knowing that we have a Christ-centered partner in these conversations, helping us to train up our children in the way they should go around these critical topics, is invaluable. All children will go through stages of physical development, but Remember Whose You Are provides a biblical lens through which they can glean wisdom, perspective, and a God-honoring foundation during these years.”
Holly Romeo, Teacher & RWYA Trained Educator, North Cobb Christian School
“The focus behind RWYA is building a firm foundation of who God is in order to impact decisions and actions throughout life. I love how the curriculum begins with students learning about the character of God. They put perceptions down and use scripture as their guide. Through the right understanding of Him, they learn how to trust in His design for marriage and sex. The concluding assignment of Unit 4 in creating goals for a Godly relationship is invaluable. Students are able to spend intentional time setting boundaries before they are faced with situations. They also have the opportunity to build relationships with Godly mentors that are trained to help students navigate any questions.”
