FAQs
Are there more character strengths than those listed on your site?

Doesn’t success depend on things other than character?

How did you ensure student privacy?
During its decade of operation, Character Lab partnered with schools that shared our commitment to helping all kids thrive. We believed that in order to support students, their privacy must be protected. We were a proud supporter of the Student Privacy Pledge, and our team did whatever it took to safeguard student information. Learn more about our core commitments to privacy and see our Student Privacy FAQs.
