What is the Purpose for a Character Education Program?
In partnership with our homes and communities, Paul Robeson Charter School, has a critical role to play in helping our scholars develop into responsible citizens. Character education prepares our scholars to address life’s moral and ethical problems. Students develop character through interaction with family, peers, teachers and community members. A person of character is a good person, someone to look up to and admire, knows the difference between right and wrong and always tries to do what is right. It is our goal that by infusing these character values into our school day, these qualities will manifest themselves in the daily lives of our students, teachers, parents and community.
