Character Education
An important component of the Park Tudor School experience is an extensive character education program.
The program, designed to be age-appropriate at each grade level, helps our students learn to be:
- Responsible, respectful and resourceful members of the community, and
- Confident, motivated and comfortable in adult settings.
The character education program for grades 1-5 includes:
- A global citizenship program is woven into curricular and extracurricular activities and is designed to foster an understanding and appreciation of our international community.
- The Lower School motto of "Respect, Responsibility and Resourcefulness" is integrated into daily classroom activities.
- Extensive student-led service-learning activities, such as age-appropriate participation in Park Tudor’s Habitat for Humanity project and the school’s Project Share holiday community-service program, develop a sense of caring for others.
- Weekly Lower School assemblies build a sense of community and provide public speaking opportunities.
- Lower School student-led recycling program teaches students to care for the environment.
- Grade 5 health curriculum (a component of physical education classes) covers a series of character education topics such as self-respect, self-esteem, values, conceit, character, self-control, moderation and delayed gratification.
