"Each and everyone of us make a difference. We don’t have to try to make a difference because we already do. The only question each of us need answer is, ‘what kind of difference do we want to make’. Do we want our influence to be mediocre, or do we want to make a positive difference in our world?

Life offers each of us this great opportunity; It is the opportunity to live an ordinary life in an extra-ordinary way."
D. Trinidad Hunt

Values and the development of an ethical moral character may be the cornerstone of all educational practices. As the child grows into a young adult and the young adult becomes a contributing member of society, values will guide their thinking, actions and goals.

Values and moral development happen over a number of years and in a multitude of environments. As students progress through school, values education can provide vital opportunities for both explicit and implicit understanding about behaviors that work for a healthy society. This begins with the classroom as a microcosm of society, and as the student develops, expands to the entire school, community, culture, and the world at large.

The Quest4Values curriculum was developed towards this end: to provide explicit and implicit opportunities for learning about and developing healthy values.
