Overview

In a world propelled by rapid technological advancements, where change is the only constant, the significance of character development stands firm. As societal values erode under the influence of social media's relentless pace, nurturing positive character traits becomes more critical than ever. The Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues champions the belief that every child deserves the right to robust character development, a principle we at the School of Science and Technology have embraced wholeheartedly. Since 2018, we've diligently implemented Character.org's 11 Principles, surpassing even the mandates of State Law HB 1026 to prioritize character education. In this enlightening book, we share our journey, replete with challenges and triumphs, in fostering character growth. We echo Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s sentiment that true education amalgamates intelligence with character. With our experiences as a guiding light, we aspire for every school to illuminate the Character Sky, nurturing a generation poised to thrive in an ethical new era. 'It is Possible' through passion, dedication, and collaborative effort.
