Program : Preschool : Character Education

We are committed to contributing to the positive growth in character of each of our students, and this work begins in Preschool and continues on through Grade 8. This focus impacts the way teachers interact with students and the way students are encouraged to treat each other. It encompasses everything from how we share toys in the sandbox to how we make good decisions about friendships and behavior. Our list of Character Building Qualities gives the community a shared language, and these words are highlighted throughout the curriculum when opportunities present themselves. They also are the basis of behavior expectations. Preschool students talk regularly about these qualities with their teachers. They learn about celebrating the goodness in each of their classmates.
