The Becoming Character Curriculum is a Christ-centered, family-based character education program designed to help parents intentionally teach faith, virtue, self-government, and strong moral character in the home.Rather than simply providing lessons to read, Becoming combines stories, scripture, discussions, songs, poems, games, activities, and practical applications that help children understand and live timeless principles together as a family.

Becoming Character Curriculum was created for families, homeschool groups, educators, and community organizations who want to intentionally teach timeless virtues. The lessons are designed to be flexible enough for a variety of settings while keeping the family at the center of the learning experience.

The curriculum is designed to grow with children and families. Each lesson includes adaptations for different ages, making it easy to involve younger children, older siblings, and even teens in meaningful conversations and activities together.

Yes. One of the unique strengths of Becoming Character Curriculum is its multi-age approach. Families and groups can learn together while allowing each child to participate at an age-appropriate level, crating shared experiences and lasting memories.

The curriculum follows a thoughtful yearly plan built around timeless virtues and character traits. Each week includes ready-to-use lessons, stories, conversations, activities, music, and reflection opportunities that help transform principles into daily habits.

We believe parents know their children best. Rather than requiring every family to teach the same lesson in the same way, Becoming Character Curriculum provides an abundance of meaningful resources for each virtue—stories, conversations, poems, songs, games, activities, memory work, and practical applications. Parents simply choose the elements that best fit their family's needs and season of life. Thoughtful planning guides which are provided help make the process simple, flexible, and enjoyable.

Many programs simply teach information. Becoming Character Curriculum focuses on formation. We believe character is grown through consistent practice, meaningful experiences, and everyday conversations that help children and teens develop wisdom, responsibility, courage, gratitude, and other enduring virtues.

Absolutely. While Becoming Character Curriculum was designed with families in mind, it also works beautifully for homeschool groups, co-ops, church groups, youth organizations, and other communities that value character education. We know of private schools, homeschool co-ops, and even performing arts programs that have used this. The method works!

Beginning is simple. Becoming Character Curriculum is designed as a complete, long-term journey that helps families and educators intentionally build habits of virtue over time.During the first year, families begin with a series of foundational weeks that prepare children for the journey ahead. These introductory lessons explore the natural laws and principles that support character growth, establish a shared language for the family, and introduce important ideas about stewardship, responsibility, and the roles we play in our homes and communities. This preparation creates strong roots before the study of individual virtues begins.After the foundation has been laid, families move into a thoughtfully organized yearly cycle of virtues and character traits. In future years, the foundational lessons may be revisited as refreshers while the family continues to grow through the curriculum at its own pace.With flexible planning guides and a wealth of ready-to-use stories, discussions, poems, songs, games, activities, and memory work, parents simply choose the experiences that best fit their family's needs and season of life. There is no pressure to do everything. The goal is not perfection, but steady growth—one meaningful step at a time.

Year One is divided into six easy-to-follow sections that gradually build upon one another.Volume I – FoundationsPrepare your family for the journey by creating a family vision, learning how the program works, understanding roles, and establishing intentional goals.Volume II – Universal Laws Discover the foundational principles that shape our thoughts, choices, attitudes, and actions through engaging lessons, stories, songs, and activities.Volumes III–V – Character Journeys Explore practical character traits such as Gratitude, Courage, Temperance, Kindness, Honesty, Service, Peace, and many more through weekly family experiences designed to strengthen both character and relationships.Each volume builds naturally on the previous one while remaining flexible enough for families to move at their own pace.
