Ethical Literacy®
Ethical Literacy® is a whole-school approach to help schools balance attention to academic rigor with attention to the ethical development of young people.

Schools participating in the Ethical Literacy® approach have established school-based teams to educate the entire school community about ethics, engaging all constituents in building a school culture where “doing the right thing” is top priority. Central to Ethical Literacy® is the Institute for Global Ethics cognitive behavioral approach:

• Awareness that ethical behavior matters
• Commitment to the shared, core values that underpin ethical behavior
• Critical thinking skills to effectively address and articulate the gray areas of ethics, particularly ethical decision making
