Virtue-Based Character Education:
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

* Parent education and support
* Community service projects
