At Monticello Preparatory School, it is our most profound hope and deepest responsibility as educators, to send students into the world who possess an ethical character and virtuous nature. Morals and values such as kindness, empathy, honesty, courage, fairness, determination, responsibility, self discipline and respect are emphasized in every class, every day.  Monticello Prep School teaches ethical character development through Michael Josephson’s “Institute of Ethics” and its “Character Counts” program for youth. The “Character Counts Coalition” helps youths develop the “Six Pillars of Character”: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.  Monticello Prep School dedicates no less than 30 minutes each and every day specifically to this program. We consider the "Character Counts" program to be the back bone of our school's kind, compassionate, ethical culture.
