Virtue-led Education

 

At Nishkam School, we believe that the fostering of human virtues forms the foundation of all goodness and hence is a foundation for all education. Our curricula are carefully enriched to allow experiences where our pupils, teachers and parents alike learn to grow through a conscious focus on virtues.

Our virtues-led education approach helps to provide guidance to enable pupils to understand their choices in order to help lead better lives. Our pupils become self-reflective and flourish; they are able to build strong, meaningful relationships and understand their responsibilities to the global family and all creation, founded in faith.

Virtues education is central to all of school life, whether it is in the informal curriculum, how we speak and conduct ourselves or through acts of regular service. We focus on 50 core virtues below as described more fully in the Nishkam passport.
