Elementary Character Development Program (K to 5th)

Elementary principals are facing more behavior challenges, more social conflict, and more pressure on academic outcomes than any previous generation of school leaders. Cloud9World Elementary is the Tier 1 universal character development program designed to meet that reality.

The program is built around 60 character strengths grounded in the positive psychology and character education research traditions, sequenced across two developmental levels so students in kindergarten through second grade build age-appropriate foundations, and students in third through fifth grade go deeper into application, civic values, and 21st-century success skills.

 

Every grade includes its own original books, never repeating content across the six years. More than 240 original titles are built into the program in English and authentic grade-level Spanish, with no additional purchase required. Each book anchors a character strength inside a literacy-based lesson that supports reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and classroom discussion.

​

Schools that implement Cloud9World Elementary report stronger classroom climate, fewer behavior referrals, improved reading engagement, and character that becomes part of the school culture rather than a separate initiative.
