The Seeds of Virtue Curriculum

Parents want more than promises — they want to know what their child is actually experiencing each day. That’s why we’re proud to share a few real, printable lessons from the Seeds of Virtue curriculum. 
  
This curriculum is unlike anything else in early childhood education. Built around the classical virtues of wisdom, health, creativity, strength, and connection with nature, each day’s lesson is intentional, structured, and deeply enriching — even for our youngest learners. 
  
Explore these three real-world lessons below and see how our program helps children build strong minds, strong bodies, and strong character — one day at a time. 

The Seeds of Virtue Are Planted in 5 Pillars

At the heart of our curriculum are five powerful pillars that nurture the whole child — not just academically, but emotionally, physically, creatively, and spiritually. Each pillar represents a vital area of early development, rooted in ancient wisdom and supported by modern science. Together, they form a complete system of character-building that complements any academic curriculum — especially The Creative Curriculum®.

  • Mind – Daily mindset lessons grounded in Stoic philosophy and emotional resilience
  • Body – Nutrition, healthy habits, and awareness of how food builds strong bodies
  • Spirit – Outdoor exploration and connection to the natural world
  • Strength – Physical activity, discipline, and confidence through movement
  • Creativity – Exposure to music, storytelling, and the expressive arts

These five pillars work together to shape identity, values, and self-awareness — giving teachers a powerful tool to guide children far beyond the ABCs.
