A Disciplined Life®
At Perspectives, we teach ethics. Our 26 principles of A Disciplined Life® (ADL & #ADL26) guide student behavior and performance, helping them to develop self-discipline, perseverance, integrity, and responsibility. The principles of A Disciplined Life form the foundation of our Perspectives Charter Schools experience, building a culture of success and addressing each student as a whole person, understanding that character growth and academic progress are interdependent.
Perspectives' staff consistently use the 26 principles of A Disciplined Life below to teach, redirect and inspire students and one another. In turn, students begin to use this language themselves. Ultimately, our parents and families learn to embody the principles of A Disciplined Life at home.
For more information about A Disciplined Life® or to learn how this model can be replicated, please email President and Co-Founder Diana Shulla-Cose.
