KINGSWOOD Virtues
Virtue formation is at the center of everything we do at Kingswood Academy. Virtues are more than good habits; they help students offer the very best of themselves and live as faithful Catholics in all circumstances. Our award‑winning Virtues Program is woven throughout the entire school day. In the classroom, on the playground, and in every interaction, students learn how Catholics are called to act, even when it’s difficult, and how to practice those virtues until they become second nature. We challenge our students to pursue excellence for the glory of God.
