Virtues in the Schools

“We can help kids remember who they really are. Their purpose in life is to have a life of purpose, to develop all the virtues which are the gifts they already have within them—courage, love, kindness, reliability, compassion. There are a growing number of schools which are successfully raising students’ self esteem and reducing violence. They have discovered 2 keys to success: a partnership approach between home and school and a focus on personal values. While virtues are culture-specific, virtues are universally valued in all cultures and faiths. Virtues are the simple elements of character, the qualities of the human spirit. They provide a frame of reference which can be integrated into the culture and curriculum of any school.” —The Virtues Project

Nancy Underdown, principal at Matata Primary School in New Zealand, is offering her school as a model of what Virtues can do. After doing training last March, virtues began to be used across the school. After the first week, Nancy and all her staff were surprised and pleased with how well the new language was working. Nancy supported her teachers' creativity and encouraged them to share what was working and to come up with new ideas. Within 5 weeks bullying had disappeared from the playground and the school's peer mediators took on a new role of looking for virtues on the playground.
