young studentsTHE CENTER FOR THE 4TH & 5TH RS sponsors the Smart & Good Schools Initiative in partnership with the Institute for Excellence & Ethics (IEE). The Initiative hosts a K-12 summer institute, conducts on-site character education trainings, carries out research, publishes the excellence & ethics education letter, and produces materials that aid schools in implementing the Smart & Good vision. The mission of a Smart & Good school is integrating excellence and ethics—developing performance character (doing our best work) and moral character (doing the right thing) within an ethical learning community.
