Healthy Respect Character Education Program: Grades 4 - 6
The Healthy Respect Character Education program focuses on self-esteem, self-confidence and self-efficacy. Students learn the skills necessary to resist unhealthy behaviors relating to alcohol, tobacco, drugs, violence. The program employs highly trained male/female instructor teams to present 26 interactive lessons. The instructors are hired, trained and evaluated by Healthy Respect staff and work in close collaboration with teachers on site in the classroom. .
The themes of Healthy Respect include Do NO Harm (to yourself, others and your future), abstinence until marriage, adoption as a viable best choice for an unmarried pregnant teen, and the importance of finishing high school and seeking higher education.
Our School is once again involved with Project Character. This program will accentuate the Montessori lessons of Grace and Courtesy.
