The Vision of The Virtues Project™ is to serve humanity by supporting the moral and spiritual development of people of all cultures, by helping them to remember who they really are and to live by their highest values.
The Mission of The Virtues Project™ is to provide empowering strategiesthat inspire the practice of virtues in everyday life through programs of excellence and simplicity which support people of all ages to cultivate their virtues -- the gifts of character.

These strategies build foundations for safe and caring communities.

Strategy 4: Honor the Spirit
Strategy 5: Offer Spiritual Companioning™
At OAES, we support this global program by readings made each morning by Fifth and Sixth Graders to the school.
