Character Education

Character Education is an intrinsic part of the daily experience at Southfield School. From the earliest age, Southfield friends are taught about respect and personal responsibility. Preschoolers are shown how to "use their words" to solve conflicts and how to be aware of the feelings of others in the classroom.

As a Southfield student ages, the concepts of honesty, integrity, generosity, and personal responsibility are woven into the fabric of daily activities and personal interactions. By the time the student reaches Middle School, each is expected to live by a code of honor, making a commitment to these principals.

Faculty members encourage discussion of how these principles of character apply to our daily choices. In addition to the daily framework for character building, philanthropy and service to the community is encouraged. Individual classes in the Preschool and Lower School divisions choose a small community related project each year, and at the Middle School students choose a "signature" project for the year. Currently they are supporting the Providence House, a shelter for homeless families in our area.
