If I Can... Schools Version

Given that many schools have 36 weeks of classes, we decided to offer a selection of 36 values. As the basis are the 12 core values used by two major Values in Schools organisations, Living Values and Values Based Education. To each of these 12 values we have added two complimentary values; e.g. to Love we have added Compassion & Benevolence.

Here is a list of the 36 values:

  1. Peace (Stillness, Mindful Awareness)
  2. Respect (Faith, Obedience)
  3. Love (Compassion, Benevolence)
  4. Tolerance (Patience, Forgiveness)
  5. Honesty (Trust, Integrity)
  6. Humility (Kindness, Harmlessness)
  7. Cooperation (Sincerity, Generosity)
  8. Happiness (Contentment, Harmony)
  9. Responsibility (Courage, Determination)
  10. Simplicity (Consistency, Temperance)
  11. Freedom (Self-Control, Creativity)
  12. Unity (Self-Knowledge, Discrimination)

In order to give schools the greatest flexibility we have provided a version of all the images that can be downloaded and then used a required. For example, the daily offering can be shown at assemblies or in classrooms, colour hard copies can be printed and mounted on school notice boards etc.

Please review the How It Works section of this site for a description of the daily offerings.
