Community of Caring is a K-12, whole school, comprehensive character education program with
a unique focus on disabilities. Community of Caring was founded in 1982 by Eunice Kennedy
Shriver and has been adopted by almost 1,200 schools nationwide and in Canada. It is research-
based and has a proven record of accomplishment. Community of Caring believes that the
universally accepted ethical values of caring, respect, responsibility, trust and family are the
foundation on which responsible decisions and behaviors are based. Community of Caring
schools weave these values into every aspect of school life and the existing curriculum through a
framework and components that include:
Staff Development/Ongoing Support
Values In and Across the Curriculum
Family and Community Involvement
Service Learning/Community Service
Student Leadership/Forums
Social Inclusion
Community of Caring believes that creating caring relationships and a caring school community
while teaching values across the curriculum is essential in creating safe and healthy learning
environments in which all children can succeed and prosper academically and ethically, including
students with disabilities.
