"The Elementary Series (suggested for Kindergarten through Grade Five) focuses on the five basic principles of positive character development, namely: (1) Ownership - everything belongs to someone and should be recognized as such, (2) Respect - to show care and concern for others, (3) Asking - in order to maintain peaceful relationships, one should ask permission before touching or taking something that belongs to someone else, (4) Self-control - to stop and think about the current situation, examine the options, then proceed with the right choice that will benefit all involved and (5) Do not steal - not to take anything that does not belong to you without permission of the owner. Through these five principles, our children will learn how to interact peacefully with each other and avoid situations that lead to violence.

"The Intermediate Series (suggested for Grade Six through Grade Eight) is structured around issues that specifically appeal to the pre-adolescent and adolescent age groups. Here, positive character development is explored through the concepts of respect, acceptance, responsibility, self-control and anger management. Through these concepts, issues such as promiscuity, substance abuse, bullying and tolerance are addressed. Students have the opportunity to benefit from a Student's Handbook which provides reading material, statistical data and real life scenarios which help the reader to see the consequences of negative social behaviors and the benefits of positive social behaviors."
