Social & Character Development
Character education is an intentional effort to help students understand, care about, and act upon core ethical values. Students with good character are caring, just, and responsible. They have developed an internal motivation to do their best and to contribute to the world around them. Good character education improves social and emotional competencies as well as academic performance.
Beginning in 2016 St. Joseph School began a formal character education program. To facilitate that we subscribed to Project Wisdom which is one of the oldest and most respected character education programs in the nation. Project Wisdom encourages students to reflect upon the meaning of civic and personal values and the application of those values in their daily lives.
Currently, this program is being tested during weekly advisory periods in grades 4 through 8.
