Long-form description

The Personal Creed Project is a learning journey beginning with a series of individual reflections and ending in a community rite-of-passage celebrating self-discovery. The experience transforms learners of all ages, guiding them to discover what they value and how they wish to live. Consistent, widespread enthusiasm for its benefits points to a new vision of learning in and beyond the classroom. The project is available to individuals, schools, and districts.
