Virtues Project for Children

• The Virtues Project is a positive, holistic
  program which is designed to bring out the best
  in children and adults.
• Virtues are the content of our character and
  exist within each childs potential.
• The project is a way to awaken these already
  existing virtues, allowing each child to act on
  the best within them.
• Through daily interactions, simple strategies are
  used within the Childventures curriculum to help
  children to remember who they really are and to
  know that the purpose of life is to have a life
  of purpose.
• Through the implementation of The Virtues
  Projects, Childventures foster in our children
  virtues such as Respect, Thankfulness, Patience
  etc.

Childventures Virtues in Education

• A virtue is a trait or quality that is deemed to
  be morally good and thus is valued as a
  foundation of principle and good moral being.
• Virtues are very different from values.
• Value denotes the degree of importance of
  something or action, with the aim of determining
  what actions are best to do, what way is best to
  live or to describe the significance of different
  actions whereas Virtues are objectively good and
  they necessarily involve actions which help to
  improve a persons life as a whole.
• To cultivate a positive, holistic approach to
  education, Childventures created the Virtues
  Project.
• Through this program, children experience
  positive virtues in their daily interactions and
  activities to bring out the best in each child.
  The Virtues Project takes a theme based program
  and integrates a different virtue into their
  curriculum to help each child live by their
  highest values.
• Each virtue provides empowering strategies that
  inspire the practice of virtues in everyday life.

  load. When we cooperate, we join with others to

  willing to follow the rules which keep everyone
  safe and happy. Together we can accomplish great
  things.

  things that matter to you. One treats people and

  holding carefully, speaking quietly and thinking
  kindly. When one feels mad or hurt, use your
  self-control and instead of harming someone, talk
  things out peacefully.

  courtesy. We treat others with dignity and honour
  the rules of our family, school and nation.
  Respect yourself, and others will respect you.

  and friendship.

• December Unity
• Unity helps us work and live together peacefully.
  We feel connected to each other and all living
  things. We value the specialness of each person
  as a gift, not as a reason to fight or be scared.
  With unity we accomplish more together than any
  of one of us could alone.
• January Self-discipline
• Self-discipline means self-control. It is doing
  what one really wants to do, rather than being
  tossed around by your feelings like a leaf in the
  wind.
• February Loyalty
• Loyalty is staying true to someone. It is
  standing up for something one believes in without
  wavering. It is being faithful to your family,
  country, school, friends or ideals, when the
  going gets tough as well as when things are good.
  With loyalty, one builds relationships that last
  forever.
