Character Aims

Our character aims outline a set of attitudinal characteristics that are equally important ingredients to our students' success in school and in life. These character aims provide the foundation through which strong academic achievement is fully possible:

·         Discipline – Make good choices. Choose to do the right thing even when others are not watching. Don't take the easy way out.

·         Respect - Be honest. Be kind. Demonstrate respect for your school and your community by acting with integrity, being kind, and taking pride in yourself, others, and your school.

·         Enthusiastic Engagement – Be an active learner. Protect your dreams by following the steps necessary for success. Be a leader.

·         Attitude – Be nice. Be smart and have a positive attitude.

·         Manners – Be polite. Be courteous of others' feelings. Say "please," "thank you" and "you're welcome" often. Be humble.

As H. Jackson Browne states, "Our character is what we do when we think that no one is looking."²² At Delaware College Prep, we will continuously work to instill a lasting set of core whole and teachers as individuals, and most importantly, they will allow the entire staff to develop and execute a data-driven action plan to ensure that every child learns and learns well.
