Virtues are good habits, acquired through practice and effort. A key aspect of Kingswood’s philosophy is helping our students grow in virtue: to be the best persons they can be.  Natural virtues empower an individual to become a more complete person. It is the growth in virtue that leads to the development of competent, responsible, considerate and committed people.

How our Character Education Program works:

* Each month there is a school-wide virtue featured in the curriculum
* Each grade has a pertinent sub-virtue that is level appropriate on which they focus
* These virtues are then incorporated into the daily curriculum and discussed during homeroom

We provide:
* Catholic faith instruction and formation
* Challenging curriculum following the core knowledge sequence
* Small class size
* Individualized attention
* Virtue-based character education
* Parent education and support
* Community service projects

Additionally:  A wide range of extra-curricular activities are available. Kingswood Academy strives to form the whole child. Our well-rounded curriculum includes art, music, band, physical education, and sports.
