National Schools of Character Awards
 

 

2008 Applications are due

December 3, 2007

Every year, CEP names 10 public and private schools and districts (K-12) as National Schools of Character (NSOC) for their outstanding work in character education. Winning schools and districts receive a $20,000 award, half of which is used for outreach to other schools and districts.  Winners may differ in their methods and implementation but all have comprehensive, exemplary character education programs that exemplify CEP’s  Eleven Principles of Character Education and serve as models for others. The criteria used to judge National Schools of Character award winners is CEP’s  Character Education Quality Standards. As part of the application process, applicants score themselves using this document.See information below about states giving State Schools of Character awards.
