HOW WE DO IT
At Montrose, character education is intentionally woven into every aspect of school life – every class, every club meeting, every coaching conversation with a student, every theatre rehearsal or athletic practice.
Our program combines the best of ancient wisdom and modern research on how humans develop the habits they need to flourish. Read on to learn more about our intentional efforts to build character in our girls.
“At Montrose, the learning approach emphasizes the ‘whys’ of life as well as the doing. Instead of just analyzing literature, we have deep discussions about human nature, or freedom, or our faith. We’re accustomed to thinking deeply about the ways we choose to live – and that inevitably encourages us to be better friends, students, sisters and daughters.”

One of the first 10 schools in the U.S. to be recognized as a National School of Character
Character education is integrated into every aspect of the Montrose experience. We do this more intentionally than any other school, and we are nationally recognized for it.
