Character Development

Phoenix Ranch is a proud partner of the Character Counts Coalition, an alliance amongst organizations and schools throughout the country aimed at helping children develop critical social and emotional skills, as well as core character traits.  The six pillars of character on which we focus are:

• Trustworthiness: integrity, honesty, reliability, loyalty, and moral courage
• Respect: courtesy, tolerance, and regard for the rights of others
• Responsibility: accountability, pursuit of excellence, self-control, and resolve
• Fairness: justness, impartiality, and respect for fair rules
• Caring: compassion, kindness, and consideration
• Citizenship: willingness to work for the good of the community, to be a good neighbor, to respect just laws, and to care for the environment

We seek to infuse character development into every aspect of our curriculum, from our classroom instruction, to school assemblies, to school-wide programs focused on giving back to others.
