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.

Did you know there's more than 1 million books in the Joburg CBD. Let's celebrate that.

Johannesburg, better known as Jozi or Joburg, is best showcased by the vibrant city centre at its heart. The area that residents refer to as “Town” is set apart by the combined bustling of hawkers, cross-continental traders, and white-collar office workers alike.

Between busy public transportation routes and the overall air of Afropolitan excellence, Town has something for everyone. This diverse and energetic part of the city is a prime showcase of the literary and artistic wonders that Joburg has to offer.

The Literary District runs on community support. We send thousands of books, new and used, for free to libraries across South Africa every year. We also work with community organisations that have literacy outreach programmes and donate books to their causes.

With more than 1 million books in the City Library and dozens of booksellers in the nearby blocks, our literary culture flows through the streets. We’re working with the Johannesburg Development Agency through its Our City, Our Block programme to highlight and expand this reading culture.
 
To start, that means keeping our streets clean. With the help of a grant from the Social Employment Fund, we have hired cleaners to help us keep the district looking refreshed.

Dozens of booksellers sell their wares in the LitDistrict. These booksellers provide easy access to books to the thousands of people in the city centre. We have fostered a relationship with these underground sellers, connecting them with publishers so that they can continue to provide the community with new books. We are working together as a neighbourhood to foster more of a reading culture that we hope will spread from our home to many others.

We are in the process of adopting the park that lies at the centre of the LitDistrict. The Library Gardens stretch out from the city library and is a popular gathering point for the community. We hope to turn this park into a literary hub by cleaning it up and filling it with books that are completely free to borrow and read.

We have adopted two outdoor township libraries – one in Alexandra and another in Soweto. We stock these libraries every month to ensure that these communities have access to an ever-changing and ever-growing selection of books. We plan to build more of these throughout Joburg, starting with Library Gardens.

With grants from the city’s Department of Community Development, we workshopped six storybooks in local languages. Three of these stories were accepted by Nal’ibali for translation into all 11 languages with free distribution, thanks to a grant from the Cadbury #InOurOwnWords campaign. See ‘The First Story Ever Told’ in isiXhosa here.

We have also worked on getting stories to print that have, up until now, only existed in oral tradition. In doing this, we hope to share South African stories further across the globe. 

Many South African books that would now be considered classics seem to have disappeared. Some were banned and never reprinted after the end of Apartheid, and others simply fell out the public consciousness but are taking on new resonance now. 

We have been working to publish new editions of such classics so that these stories can re-enter circulation.  We have reprinted a duology of H.I.E. Dhlomo’s ‘The Girl Who Killed to Save’ and ‘Valley of a Thousand Hills’. Dhlomo is a founding figure of South African literature whose work has become hard to come across – something that we are working to change. 

We host publishing workshops to help break down some of the barriers between writers’ ideas and books going to print. We also sell books from independent authors on consignment, helping their words reach readers.

We host Storytime Saturday every week, either at Bridge Books or around the corner at Ernest Oppenheimer Park. With this initiative, we hope to revitalise the art of oral narrative, and to give children a fun and enriching activity on the weekend. Our readers bring stories to life in all South African languages, depending on the week’s audience. We want the kids in the neighbourhood to know that kids like them can be on the covers of books, too.

We also work in collaboration with the Alliance Française. With monthly storytelling events, we support their mission of bringing South African cultures to French expats living in Joburg, encouraging them to introduce their children to more South African stories. Plenty of local children from our area come to listen, too, and to join in on the djembe drum circle. 

The LitDistrict is a part of the Johannesburg Inner City Walkable Network, which links neighbourhoods throughout the CBD to create a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for locals and visitors.
 
 In the LitDistrict, we are working to create a neighbourhood identity based on literature and community. Local kids stop by on their way home from school to do their homework and read together and young professionals hunker down together over coffee at Bridge Books. 
 
All in all, we want our home to feel more like a home – art on the walls, places to come together, books in hands.

Using art as a vehicle for social change, while connecting the shared history, values and futures of Africa and its Diaspora!

The experiences and cultural contributions of people of African descent have been marginalized throughout history and MoCADA’s mission is to undertake the responsibility of rewriting that history in order to give a more accurate portrayal of the contributions of people of African descent to the artistic and global landscape.

The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) uplifts the visual, literary, and performing arts as a conduit that connects the shared history, values, and futures of Africa and its diaspora, for the purpose of advancing dialogue on pressing social + political issues faced by these communities. We give platform within our safe spaces to artists whose work honor, celebrate, and expand this rich conversation while inviting our community in to explore, engage, and thrive within our collective evolution.

For 20 years, MoCADA has empowered vulnerable communities and instilled a sense of pride in visitors through representation and access to the arts including 100+ groundbreaking artists from 20+ countries (Terence Nance, Dread Scott, Wangechi Mutu, etc) whose voices have gone largely ignored; to Black, LatinX, Indigenous, especially, low income, children, women, immigrants, elders, LGBTQ+, people living with disabilities etc from the communities of Central Brooklyn and beyond.

We increase access to the outdoors for all members of our diverse community by providing information and gear.

The Community Gear Library is a resource in the Shenandoah Valley to increase access to the outdoors for all members of our diverse community by providing information and gear. We let people borrow camping, hiking, backpacking, and bike packing equipment for free. 

We are making big moves and adding another library to the mix! To do that we need to raise more funds to purchase gear as well as pay for official email addresses for two separate gear libraries.

Ithaca City of Asylum (ICOA) is a community organization dedicated to providing sanctuary to writers whose works are suppressed.

Ithaca City of Asylum (ICOA) is a community organization dedicated to providing sanctuary to writers whose works are suppressed, whose lives are threatened, whose cultures are vanishing, or whose languages are endangered. ICOA is a member of the International Cities of Refuge Network, one of only three member cities in the United States. Formed in 2001, ICOA has hosted writer, poet, and essayist Yi Ping; the late playwright and novelist Reza Daneshvar; poet and memoirist Sarah Mkhonza; poet and playwright Irakli Kakabadze; journalist Sonali Samarasinghe; journalist and memoirist Raza Rumi; political cartoonist Pedro Molina; poet, novelist, and satirist Dmitry Bykov; and filmmaker, writer and puppeteer Arthur Groys.

**The problem**

In many places in today’s world, writers face persecution for the statements they make in their art. Every writer who is silenced means one less voice to speak for thousands more against oppression.
 
**Our approach**

ICOA hosts one writer at a time (plus family members) for a two-year residence in partnership with a local institution of higher learning. Currently, our artist serves as a Visiting Affiliate Artist at Ithaca College. Cornell University has hosted past writers and currently provides substantial financial sponsorship. 

Our visiting writers teach, share their work through public events, and form alliances with local organizations. The resident benefits from a place to live, time to write, financial support, and community. Ithaca gains the perspective, friendship, and artistry of each visiting resident.
 
**Our team**

ICOA is a volunteer board of up to 20 members.

Eagle Ridge Christian School, Inc., is a nonprofit charity focused on education based in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.




EAGLE RIDGE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

VISION STATEMENT
Eagle Ridge Christian School endeavors to raise and equip graduates who are academically qualified, spiritually equipped and physically fit. We aspire to produce graduates that are life-long learners and leaders in their fields of endeavor, valuable members of society, who love, honor, respect, and serve God, their country, and their fellow man.

THE MISSION
The mission of Eagle Ridge Christian School is to provide a quality Christian education based upon the Word of God in an environment where students can achieve maximum success academically, spiritually, and physically in the pursuit of God’s call and purpose in their lives.  

HISTORY 
Eagle Ridge Christian School, Inc. (Eagle Ridge) has a long history of success as a major Christian Educator in Southeast Missouri.  The school was founded in 1982, under the direction of Dr. Mark Carbaugh, and has seen over forty years of success in graduating hundreds of students into successful lives and careers.  

The school has grown from three teachers serving 32 elementary children to a student population of over 220 students and 40 full and part-time staff serving 6-week-old infant care through twelfth grade. 

In 1996, Eagle Ridge graduated its charter class. The next month, Eagle Ridge was incorporated as a separate entity from the church as a 501(c)(3) organization on December 22, 1997. 

In June of that same year, a 30,000-square-foot facility was built on twenty acres to house both the school and Rock of Cape Church.  They have since continued sharing space in this same facility.   
 
In the fall of 1998, the school added a 2 and 3-year-old preschool program, as well as, a before and after-care program. In 1999, Eagle Ridge began offering food service including breakfast, lunch, and an afterschool snack.

In 1998, Eagle Ridge Christian School began accreditation with the International Christian Accrediting Association (ICAA) receiving full accreditation in 2000. Eagle Ridge applied for and received accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) in 2001.  Today, Eagle Ridge maintains accreditation through the International Christian Accreditation Association (ICAA) and Cognia.

Cognia is the parent organization of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI), Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI).  
 
The school continues to enjoy a growing, interscholastic athletics program through Missouri Christian School Athletic Association (MCSAA), and as an affiliate member of the Missouri State High School Athletic Association (MSHSAA).  This enables the school to compete with Christian and public schools nationwide.

THE NEED
We have never seen such a demand in all the forty years of the school’s existence as we are seeing now. Calls continue to come in for students, but there is not always space to accommodate the requests. We have come to a place in time where the need is great for the school and we must expand to accommodate the needs of the community.   

As Eagle Ridge has flourished in response to demand in our community, we have outgrown our current building.  The church and school presently occupy a 30,000-square-foot building, where both entities share space.  The requirements of the school have forced the Church to occupy less and less space with each passing school year.  Each year the church has given up more space to accommodate the school’s need for more classroom space. 

We believe this to be an opportune time for the school to begin moving forward with a new campus to meet all the needs of this growing ministry.  

A new campus will provide tremendous opportunities for the school to significantly grow in all areas.  Our preschool would immediately add over 100 students to our enrollment, who are presently on a waiting list.  This alone would increase the school’s annual income by $500,000 to the operating budget and provide additional jobs for many families.  

We have a vision to serve more people in our school.  To reach that potential, we must increase the size of our campus and facilities.

NEW CAMPUS VISION
The school has an opportunity to purchase 125 acres of land. This will allow us to build a 65,000 square feet facility that will allow us to fully educate, train, and equip our students’ mind, body and spirit.

The expansion will accommodate growth to more than 450 students, more than doubling our present enrollment.  In addition, the new school building will also accommodate 100+ children on the waiting list in pre-school.

Key Features will include: 
•	Athletic fields for soccer, baseball and track for our successful athletic programs
•	Modern facilities equipped with the newest and latest technologies to assist faculty and students to reach their greatest potential
•	Implementation of the newest school safety and security measures
•	Modern indoor gymnasiums suitable for all types of competitions
•	Resources and spaces to ensure the education for special needs students

ESTIMATED COSTS
The leaders of the school have now begun a capital campaign to purchase land nearby its present location to build a new school building and campus.

This Capital Campaign’s goal is $18.75 million.  This would include the 125 acre land purchase and construction costs for the new 65,000-square-foot campus.

Eagle Ridge Christian School, Inc., is identified as a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) under the Internal Revenue Service and is registered with the State of Missouri.  The Determination is on file and can be requested.    

You can search on “Guidestar.org” for verification of the school’s recognized status with the Internal Revenue Service.  

The school is recognized as an exempt organization under the Charitable Organizations & Solicitations Law, Sections 407.450 to 407.478 RSMo 2000 in Missouri, Registration No:  CO-335-23.

THE APPEAL
Children and youth today are faced with pressures we never knew, and many situations and tests that we find hard to understand. Their phones, social media, and societal pressures present distracting and complicating issues, bombarding them with misleading information, encouraging them to pursue shallow relationships, and offering empty promises.  

Families in our community are seeking morally-based organizations and educational opportunities that will collaborate with them to uphold their traditional values, especially for their children. 

Parents need help, and they are coming to Eagle Ridge because we offer an excellent and rigorous education that is also based on Biblical Truths.  

We prepare young people with the lessons and tools they need to be academically successful, make sound decisions, and achieve a positive difference in our world.
We are asking you to consider supporting Eagle Ridge’s vision and dream.  With your donation, the school can reach its greatest potential.  Investing in the future of young people is one of the greatest joys a person can experience.  

Eagle Ridge is that place, the foundation that will allow you to touch hundreds of students for generations to come.  You would be sending a message through these students to a time you will never see!  What is that message?  It is the Godly values, principles, and morals, with high academic achievements that will create a future where mankind is able to reach its greatest potential.  

Your gift will continue on through a lifetime and beyond, to multiple generations to affect change to people you will never meet.  These students are the lifeline to the future.   

Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV)

EXPANSION USHERS IN NEW ERA
This is your opportunity to begin a new era of Christian education and build foundations into the lives of hundreds of students, raising leaders to serve God, community, country, and mankind.  The impact of what you do with your gift is immeasurable in the number of lives that will be touched and changed.  We will be raising leaders to serve God, the community, the country, and the world for generations to come.

Your gift is one that will keep on giving!  

Just as Nelson Mandela has said, “Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.” 

Partner with Eagle Ridge and create a foundation for transforming students’ lives through education and change the world.

Creative Commons (CC) stewards a universally accessible infrastructure for open knowledge, culture, and collaboration. 

Creative Commons is the global nonprofit organization behind the CC licenses and public domain tools, enabling the free and open distribution of otherwise copyrighted work. We give every person and organization in the world a simple and standardized way to grant copyright permissions for images, music, research, journal articles, educational resources, and cultural artifacts; ensure proper attribution; and allow others to copy, distribute, and make use of those works.

We've come a long way since we first got started in 2001. When Creative Commons was  founded, the internet was a budding universe with high potential, and platforms widely used today like Wikipedia and Google were only just taking off. CC’s founders were keen to ensure that, as the internet continued to grow, safeguards to knowledge, culture, and creativity were firmly in place, and the Creative Commons license suite was born.

Now more than ever, CC recognizes the urgent need for these licenses in advancing Better Sharing, key to preserving our global commons. As we look toward the next 20 years, CC seeks to fearlessly advocate for Open Knowledge to address the many challenges our global community faces today from the Climate Crisis and educational inequalities to the spread of "fake news" and barriers in access to cultural heritage.
