Curriculum

The Core Virtues program is a practical, non-sectarian approach to character education on the kindergarten to fifth grade levels.

The virtues highlighted each month are common ground, consensus virtues and not controversial social or political agendas. The objective is to ignite the imagination of the young, inspiring them to do and be their best.
