Culture of Integrated Ethics
Turning questioning into personal understanding and global engagement
线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司 students work to develop habits of inquiry and reflection as the building blocks of their own moral and intellectual character. They learn about themselves and how they can impact the world around them.
“How can we best develop the moral and intellectual habits of good character?”
线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司’s Culture of Integrated Ethics, rooted in the 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司 Character Standards, brings together many different facets of 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司’s curriculum and school culture that simultaneously explore answers to this guiding question.
As students question, reflect, collaborate, and problem-solve, they are intentionally practicing the habits of good character and engaged in an authentic and relevant Culture of Integrated Ethics.

Student Leadership
Student ownership ensures that 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司’s Culture of Integrated Ethics remains relevant and engaging. In 2007, a group of student leaders redesigned the 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司 Character Standards to make them more accessible to the student body and applicable to all members of the 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司 community. Their work inspired the formation of the Upper School Student Ethics Committee and later the Middle School Ethics Roundtable, which provide opportunities for student discussion, reflection, and action on the role of 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司’s Character Standards in and out of the classroom.
Members of the Upper School Student Ethics Committee also aid the faculty’s professional development by offering constructive feedback, which faculty members incorporate in their curricular and co-curricular planning during each summer’s Integrated Ethics Institute.
Additional student-led groups support 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司’s goal of helping students to develop the moral and intellectual habits of good character. These include the Student Diversity Leadership Committee, Student Laptop Leaders, Global Experience Student Leaders, Green Group/Environmental Action, Peer Leaders, and Honor Council
Philip McNeal Leadership Program
Inspired by the life of former Trustee and 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司 Parent, Philip McNeal, The Philip McNeal Leadership Program will augment a signature learning initiative at 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司, the Culture of Integrated Ethics, by providing 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司 students robust curricular and co-curricular activities to learn how to be ethical beings, critical thinkers, responsible citizens and honorable leaders.
This new program is timely and in direct response to the turmoil across our country that is driving us to make much-needed changes to dismantle the systemic racism within our institutions and high-lighting the importance of educating our youth to be empathetic, anti-racist, ethical leaders. It is also aligned with the internal assessments and evaluations 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司 recently conducted to understand how to better fulfill its mission to be a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community.
Professional Development
We balance all aspects of our lives. By devoting personal attention to academics and personal commitments, we maintain moderation. While welcoming relaxation, we exert self-control and strength of will when faced with temptation and challenge.
Integrated Ethics Institute
During this weeklong summer institute, faculty from all three campuses explore the myriad ways in which integrated ethics can play a more deliberate role in our school—from the classroom and the advisory program to extracurricular life and support services. Faculty choose from a number of directed readings, interactive workshops, and field trips to support their learning and individual and group curricular design projects. These projects not only further professional growth, but also honor the collaborative process of teaching and learning that is integral to 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司.
Blauvelt Award
Demonstrating 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司’s commitment to helping faculty members study integrated ethics, the Blauvelt Professional Study Advancement Award offers monetary support for those seeking to explore creative ways to bring integrated ethics to the forefront of 线上买球app下载（中国）有限公司 life. Recent projects have included:
