CHARACTER EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP (CEP)
Every year, CEP names 10 schools (K-12) as National Schools of Character (NSOC) for their exemplary work in character education. Although the methods and implementation are not specified by CEP, schools must demonstrate that they have implemented  comprehensive, effective character education programs that adhere to CEP’s  Eleven Principles of Effective Character Education  and that may serve as models for others.

The criteria used to judge National Schools of Character award winners is CEP’s Revised Character Education Quality Standards.


In 2006, Ridgewood Middle School (Arnold, MO) was named 1 of 10 National Schools of Character (NSOC) after implementing The Flippen Group’s character education program Capturing Kids’ Hearts.

Because the Flippen Group processes and curricula adhere to CEP’s Eleven Principles of Effective Character Education, our programs are listed in the Character Education Program Resources Profile Directory at the CEP affiliate, the New Jersey Character Education Partnership (NJCEP).

CHARACTER EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP (CEP) PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Although there is no single recipe for implementing an effective character education program, the Character Education Partnership has identified eleven important basic principles underlying character education. The following CEP principles serve as criteria that schools and other groups can use to plan a character education effort. They can be used in conjunction with CEP's Character Education Quality Standards to evaluate available character education programs, books, and curriculum resources.
