Establishing Strong Roots and Healthy Habits
We want each and every student at Triangle Day School to find the leader in themselves by making the right choices when no one is looking.
Triangle Day School offers a formal character education program throughout and across every grade level. At TDS, Character Education includes a meaningful and challenging academic curriculum that respects all learners, helps all learners succeed, and strives to develop students’ intrinsic motivation.
From leading morning meetings to role-playing scenarios to each child taking their turn as the classroom greeter, experiences at TDS give students plenty of opportunities to learn about themselves and reflect upon our core values.
At the school-wide assemblies each month, a Middle School student is recognized for demonstrating one or more core values and Lower School teachers share ways the Talented Tornadoes demonstrated the core values. We want to hold each other accountable by not just talking the talk but by also walking the walk. Abigail Van Buren once said, “If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.”
Our Character program focuses on establishing strong roots and healthy habits so that each and every one of our students will grow into successful leaders of their own lives.
