Character Education at Waimea Country School
We believe that moral character
shapes the course of a student’s life more than any specific academic
skill. The School, therefore, provides a values-based
curriculum as a companion to our academic curriculum
in order to create a balanced school environment where
students are encouraged to grow socially and spiritually,
as well as intellectually.
Children who have not been exposed
to strong moral values cannot always be expected
to behave correctly and grow into morally strong
adults. A lack of
common courtesy and good manners, as well as teasing,
gossiping, and inappropriate language are traits we
hope to extinguish. Because children are the
custodians of our future, we believe it is important
for us to attend to their moral development.
