Values First

Executive Summary

In 1993, The Peter N. G. Schwartz Foundation was encouraged by school leaders in the District of Columbia to use its resources, in partnership with principals and teachers, to promote the basic universal values in schools. As a result of that partnership, ValuesFirst, a non-profit, non-religious 501(c)(3) organization was formed. By drawing on research-based methodologies and years of trial and error, we have developed a simple, low cost, easy to replicate, and sustainable methodology called "Values Infusion." Superintendents, principals, and teachers can use the Values Infusion Methodology to create a values-centered school culture built on the Values Code.

What We Do

ValuesFirst is looking forward to our continued partnership, with all of the values-centered schools who continue to create holistic learning environments where the "Principal Holds the Key" to unlocking the limitless potential of all children. We appreciate the tireless efforts and Hard Work of all of the principals and staff who have committed to ensuring that No Child Is Left Behind, by strengthening students, schools, and communities through the infusion of values.
