Helping students know, desire, and choose the good. 

**About Us**
Values & Virtues, originally established as The Principled Academy, is a nonprofit organization started in 1973. We provide free, high-quality character education resources for educators and caregivers to use at school and at home.

Your support helps us:

- Maintain and grow our online library
- Research and write inspiring new stories
- Create engaging companion activities and teaching tools

**Our Vision**
We envision a world where children grow into ethical, loving, and compassionate human beings—guided by strong values and empowered to make a difference.

**Our Story**
The Principled Academy began in 1973 as a non-sectarian, values-based K–8 school in San Leandro, California. For over 30 years, our curriculum centered on care, respect, compassion, responsibility, fairness, and generosity—values that led to significantly higher academic achievement among our students.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we transitioned from a traditional school to a fully online platform. Today, Values & Virtues offers accessible resources to support moral development at home and in the classroom.

**Our Impact**
After decades of experience, we’ve seen how essential character education is in helping children thrive—not just academically, but as kind and responsible human beings.

To support teachers and caregivers in this mission, we are continually growing a library of resources, including:

- 200+ stories organized by character virtue
- 100+ hands-on activities to help children learn through doing
- Thoughtful guiding questions for every story

**Thank You**

With your help, we’re nurturing a generation of children ready to lead with love, courage, and integrity.
