“Character Education
cannot be covered in
ten minutes a day. It
must be at the heart
of the entire
program…Character
can’t be taught as a
course, it is a way of
living.”

What Does Character Mean?
From book, Building Character in Schools:
The English word character comes from the Greek word charassein, which means, “to engrave,” such as on a wax tablet, a gemstone, or a metal surface. From that root evolved the meaning of character as a distinctive mark or sign, and from there grew our conception of character as “an individual’s pattern of behavior…his moral constitution.”
