It is designed to help students become caring responsible members of their school communities and ultimately to grow into humane principled and skilled citizens of a democratic society. The lessons in the program help faculty and staff create a warm safe and disciplined school environment where all community members can develop the skills and dispositions they need to interact constructively with others.
