The Summer Institute in Character Education

The Summer Institute in Character Education is a five-day program that provides an intensive overview of character education. It is designed for teachers and other educators from schools that are committed to fostering character development in students ranging from pre-school to high school.

The institute has been held each summer since 2000 and has attracted approximately 25 educators each year. Thus, approximately 500 students are impacted each graduating class during the subsequent school year. Of course, those numbers grow exponentially as the teachers continue to incorporate character education strategies in subsequent years and are joined by new graduates.
