Character Education
Character Education is an important part of every day at Grapeville Christian School.
At the elementary level teachers identify positive character traits in students and award them for one characteristic they exhibit the most.
Whether it's being loving, helpful, thrifty, respectiful, humble, honest, truthful, sincere -- every student seems to exhibit one more than another.
"We let the kids be who they are and we observe that," said Miss Potter, who teaches grades 5 through 12. "We do teach morals and different character qualities and the students grow and develop around those teachings."
"We talk about character in all of our classes. Even in math there are bible verses. When you're doing a lesson about borrowing it will be accompanied by a Bible verse on the value of managing your money wisely. Because it's a Christian school the students are immersed in that."
