Moral Focus™

Strong hearts and minds impact the world in amazing ways. Virtues such as respect, perseverance, compassion, and courage are essential to what kids need to succeed and an essential part of what we teach. We make them part of every school day through our Moral Focus program. Our program is integrated into everything we do. This helps students learn the importance of making good decisions and doing the right thing in life.
