Welcome to the Character Education Partnership!

CEP is a national advocate and leader for the character education movement. Based in Washington, D.C., we are a nonprofit, nonpartisan, nonsectarian coalition of organizations and individuals committed to fostering effective character education in K-12 schools.

 

We offer a framework for holistic character education: The Eleven Principles of Effective Character Education. We encourage effective practices and provide for the exchange of ideas through our staff development, our national conference, and our National Schools of Character Awards program.
