Abstract
The basic purpose of education is two-fold: academic excellence and character formation. These dual aims of education do not merely operate alongside each other; they must unfold together (Brogan & Brogan, 1999). The intertwining of academics and character development must embrace all the aspects of school life: curriculum, instruction, co-curricular and extra-curricular programs, and school climate. As Lickona (1993) puts it, education should make students both smart and good.
