Virtue Development Boys Need in School and Life

Army and Navy Academy (ANA), is a boys boarding school on the Pacific Ocean in Carlsbad, CA. As the school notes, “Army and Navy Academy’s approach toward boy brain science and virtue development sets young men up for success in school and life.” President of the school (and parent of a son who graduated from ANA), Barry has a close-up view of what works to help boys grow virtuously and learn effectively. Barry will discuss theory and strategies from the school’s 115 year history, including results of the learning laboratory the school creates for boys to explore self-developing in male-positive and male-supportive environment. Boys from the school go on to become virtuous leaders, scholars, and athletes. As Barry notes, “In a time where young men are encountering systemic difficulties in school and early life, the Academy sets graduates up for lifelong success.”
