Services for K-12 Schools

The Institute for Global Ethics (IGE) wants to make sure our students are learning to appreciate the broadest purpose of education—to create a just and ethical society. IGE provides highly interactive and effective in service opportunities and direct, developmentally appropriate experiences for students, aimed at making sure schools balance attention to academic rigor with attention to the ethical development of young people. We can't afford to choose one over the other, and IGE's Schools of Integrity research demonstrates we can do both. IGE provides a series of services to help leadership, faculty, staff, and students discover and sustain a shared vision of ethical behavior, and a school-wide culture of integrity.
