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 and 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 classroom instruction to school assemblies to school-wide programs focused on giving back to others.
