At BG, we approach the development of character and teaching of virtues with the same intentionality we apply to teaching the academic disciplines. Our Character and Virtues education curriculum is comprehensive, spanning Grades 1-12, and guided by defined learning outcomes for Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High School. We believe that developing strong character and understanding what it means to be virtuous is vital for every student, regardless of faith tradition, and so we seek to create our school culture around that belief instead of just confining it to the classroom. At the same time, this culture enables our Catholic students to grow in these virtues specifically in imitation of, and sacramental union with, Jesus Christ
