The journal is concerned with the contextual origins of diverse definitions of spirituality as well as life and values education and their practical implications for personal and school development, communal well-being, social policies and organizational practices.

IJCS's commitment to respect all children and young people, as well as each other, means that we reject discrimination on the grounds of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, physical or mental ability or age.
