Character Education Programs for Middle and High Schools

Habitudes has it all. It has the implementation of why we’re doing this and the why behind “you should have integrity.” We found something that the kids are hooked on immediately.

We are seeing students from all demographics engage in the Habitudes lessons and having conversations on how to prepare for their life ahead of them.

One tangible outcome has been our hallways. I have seen more kids hold a door for those behind them. One kid asked me how I was doing before I asked him how he was doing. Habitudes is making a difference.

One of the biggest things that Habitudes has helped with is preparing our students to be career and college ready upon graduation. Habitudes helped each student become a better person and have a big picture perspective. The benefit to teachers has been significant as well. They consistently tell me they are having more conversations with students that are meaningful and have impact. Habitudes has been a game changer.

Habitudes has changed our students and our program. I find my students are now intrinsically motivated to do what they need to, such as completing their homework and pushing in their chair. Parents say their kids love our class, and the parents even thank us for teaching Habitudes.

After starting Habitudes, I now have almost no external motivators. In addition to not having to keep motivating my students, their quality of work is far better and the students are happier.

We believe in creating a culture of growth, character, and knowledge, and we believe our students can own their own character. We are in the process of minimizing external behavior controls over students and maximizing the student’s decision-making ability through good strong character traits that they would reference prior to making decisions and actions. Habitudes is helping us accomplish this.
