In partnership with parents, our Buddhist school works to instill and develop in our students the core virtues of kindness, filial piety, respect, trustworthiness, fairness, citizenship, integrity, and humility. We provide an environment for our students to achieve their full academic potential and become outstanding citizens who will contribute to making their community and the world a better place. Instilling Goodness/Developing Virtue Schools are founded on the ideas outlined in the teachings of the Buddha. Accordingly, courses in Buddhist Studies are requisite for all students. Students of all faiths, however, are welcome. A full academic program, as required by the State of California, is offered. The curriculum reflects a commitment to educating the whole person. Accordingly, the elementary school emphasizes respect for parents, teachers, and elders. In contrast, the secondary school guides students to fulfill their personal and civic responsibilities and cherish their families, nation, and living beings.

Most students participate in several extracurricular activities. All students serve, perform, and help organize the annual celebrations of Honoring Elders Day (autumn) and Cherishing Youth Day (spring), which are attended by 500 to 1000 people from the surrounding Mendocino County community. The approximately 40 faculty members include monastic and lay members of the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association and teachers and professionals from around the world, who create a stimulating learning environment through a blend of Western and Eastern teaching philosophies and methods. The faculty's average teaching experience is 13.5 years, with approximately 40% holding master's degrees and 10% holding doctoral degrees. The student/teacher ratio is 2:1, and Developing Virtue School's average class size is 12. Interaction between teacher and student does not stop in the classroom. Teachers work as coaches, sponsors for clubs, and advisors to students. And most live on campus. -
