SPIRIT of TRUTH
Digital School Edition
The most engaging, versatile digital learning platform for religion class!
Here you get all the great content in Spirit of Truth optimized for use in our app or a web-browser combined with an engaging, interactive learning game for every day of the school year in grades K through 8. From sacred art puzzle games to cross-words, your students will not just learn the faith, they'll have fun doing it!
Spirit of Truth Digital Edition is a completely-digital platform available via app or browser — not just a digitized book. Our cutting-edge user interface allows students to progress through the course as a class or at their own pace, and supports you as the educator to assign, track, grade and communicate with your students. You can also easily export your roster and student scores into any LMS you are using.
What makes the Digital App for Schools Unique?
Hundreds of Learning Games
Reading, question and answers and Sacred Art Reflections are now joined by Angry-Birds-type sorting games, drawing games, iSpy activities, driving games, word searches and scrambles, crossword puzzles, drag-and-drop matching games — all age-appropriate per grade level.
Delivers a Meaningful Encounter with the Faith
Our digital platform covers the entire Catechism in a rich and age-appropriate way and is designed to connect with students of diverse backgrounds and differing familiarity with the Faith.
Not just an e-book
Most curricula are available for your tablet or computer, but these are just digitized versions (PDF!) of the book with very little ability to interact. The result is a flat and unengaging experience. Spirit of Truth Digital Edition gives you an intuitive, feature-rich experience that enables notifications, teacher-student communication for feedback, grading and so much more.
