Mission

Dedicated to advancing virtues-based character education for all elementary school children, the Core Virtues program promotes the use of quality children's literature to that end. We connect schools and educators using this approach. 

Who we are

The Core Virtues program began as an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan initiative based in New Hampshire. and founded by Mary Beth Klee, Ph.D.  The Core Virtues Foundation was formed to support and advance this work, which was subsequently transferred to the stewardship of the University of Dallas (St. Ambrose Center).
