Students must have a positive, ethical sense of self in order to withstand the barrage of contradictory and destructive trends they will face.  To become educated is not enough.  Students must be educated in a manner which includes building strong character and creating involved, moral citizens.  Creating good citizens takes more than accumulating knowledge.  As stated by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, "It is not brains that matter most, but that which guides them."

    This necessary education cannot be haphazard, superficial, or incidental.  A conscious, careful, and complete effort is required to overcome the barrage of negative forces facing young people in society.  Band-aides will not cure cancer, and quick fixes will not refurbish ethical wastelands.  The AEGIS Character Education program offers an efficient, research-based model for equipping students with the moral principles and ethical standards that will help them to understand, value, and commit to positive principles.
