Breck Lower School Character Education Program Recognized

**The below information comes from Breck's blog.

Breck Lower School's innovative CARE (Character Always, Respect Every Day) program has been recognized by the Center for Spiritual and Ethical Education (CSEE), a "national association of schools that provides leading resources, expert voices, and an active forum for ethical growth and spiritual development in academically rigorous schools."

In a just-released book called Making Our Pact: Lower School Programs for Character Development, CSEE recognizes six schools throughout the U.S. who are deserving of notice for having taken intentional steps, thought through and focused on goals that are supported and endorsed by the community, have visions shared by all constituents (faculty, students, trustees, parents), have managed to weave their visions deeply into the fabric of the school and are ongoing, dynamic programs constantly open to fine-tuning,

The section on Breck and CARE was co-authored by Lower School Division Director Peg Bailey and Lower School Counselor Lisa Lokke.

Breck is the only school in the Midwest included in the book, along with the Isidore Newman School (New Orleans), Brentwood School (Los Angeles), Collegiate School (Richmond, VA), the Peck School (Morristown, NJ) and Greensboro Day School (Greensboro, NC).
