A Pledge for Life Students of Classical Charter Schools of America recite the Pledge daily after the Pledge of Allegiance. The Pledge is not only for school but is a Pledge for life! It encapsulates the true meaning of what a life well-lived should represent. Classical education centers on wisdom and virtue and these tenets are at the heart of the Pledge. One portion of the Pledge encourages us all to think for ourselves and not rely solely on experts or “popular opinion and custom,” something that is of the utmost importance in a world filled with conflicting information and free-for-all journalism. The third verse of the Pledge captures the meaning of virtue. Students pledge to have faith and hope, as well as charity toward their neighbor. Students also pledge to be just and prudent. They pledge to have fortitude and temperance. We should all aspire to the principles ascribed in the Pledge. Following it will lead us to a better society where truth and goodness prevail. Please click on the link below to read the Pledge in its entirety. |

Students of the Month Character education is an important part of the CCS-America curriculum. Each month, students are recognized for displaying a specific character trait that they are not only learning and practicing, but also recite daily in our Pledge. September’s character trait was Loyalty. Students who are loyal show commitment, even in difficult times. Loyalty is seen in the Pledge as “I Pledge to be obedient and loyal to those in authority.” Students apply these words to their everyday lives by keeping their commitments, helping those in need, and caring about others. Congratulations to all of these students who demonstrated exemplary loyalty. Check them out on the links below! |
