Opening the Door
to Strong Character

We believe a full education is more than learning to read and write, add and subtract. To properly understand and learn about the world we live in, it is important to learn about ourselves and the fundamentals of relationship skills. A secure foundation in self-awareness and self-regulation gives students the tools to confidently navigate personal relationships that are so essential to the human experience.

At Grace, we support social-emotional learning with the help of our five Grace character keys: honesty, respect, responsibility, compassion, and courage, which give students a solid foundation in good character. Visit Grace and you will find the character keys proudly displayed in hallways and classrooms, and integrated into the curriculum of each class.

By setting clear expectations of the character traits we value and expect from our community, we encourage Grace students to embrace the power of goodness and contribute positively to the experience of all others in the school.

CHARACTER PLEDGE

We, who are members of the Grace Episcopal School community, seek to live lives of Christian values and good character. We believe that good character grows from daily acts of honesty, respect, responsibility, compassion and courage. We pledge ourselves to develop these ideals with integrity, striving to do what is right at all times.
