School Programming and Consulting
School Programming
Our fun and developmentally-sensitive programs give students the tools and framework to feel empowered to develop their own sense of values with which they can make competent and thoughtful ethical decisions. Making ethically thoughtful decisions is a character strength that all students need the opportunity to develop. Our assemblies help students cultivate the confidence and competence to make vital decisions that are in line with personal values. Confidence in making ethical decisions helps increase independence, competence as global citizens, and courage for leadership. Our school programs aims to reach a young student’s heart and mind, and thereby educate the whole child. We believe that children who receive an ethical education today will become adults who have the courage to lead tomorrow.

School Consulting
Every educational community is unique, so getting to know the schools we work with is a top priority. Once we understand the culture and essence of your school community, we are best able to address your most pressing concerns, support what you already do well, and tackle the challenges your school community faces. All workshops are customized to meet the specific needs of your team or school. The Ethics Institute at Kent Place has presented at the following schools:
- Westmont Montessori School
- Mustard Seed School
- Rumson Country Day School
- Lincoln-Hubbard Elementary School
- Greenwich Academy
- Trinity Hall
- Scarsdale High School
- Bryn Mawr School

The Ethics Institute at Kent Place School is a first-of-its-kind institute at the primary and secondary school level. We believe that promoting the process and practice of ethical thinking and decision-making prepares people of all ages to be effective leaders and compassionate citizens.
