Chapin introduced its Character Development Program in the fall of 2001. The program is based on the five virtues of good character considered most important by the school family:
- Respect
- Responsibility
- Honesty
- Kindness
- Perseverance
These virtues are woven into all aspects of a student’s day at Chapin School and serve as the basis for discussion or disciplinary action as the need arises.
Each year the school’s Character Development Committee chooses a new theme to enhance our understanding of how to practice good character in our everyday lives.
