The Code: Molding Today's Men of Character
In a world where young men often receive conflicting messages about masculinity, The Code offers a transformative path to adulthood rooted in the ancient wisdom of the samurai. This comprehensive curriculum helps boys move confidently into manhood by teaching them that true self-mastery comes from both embracing one's power and accepting the responsibility that comes with it.
Drawing on the framework of bushidō, The Code guides students through seven essential virtues:
- Rectitude: Making right and just decisions in difficult situations.
- Loyalty: Developing devotion and faithfulness in relationships.
- Honor: Maintaining personal dignity and self-worth.
- Courage: Facing fear to do what is right.
- Honesty: Pursuing sincerity and truth in deeds and words.
- Politeness: Demonstrating genuine respect and empathy for others.
- Benevolence: Acting with a consistent desire to do good for the community.
The curriculum uniquely blends Western and Eastern traditions, pairing Socratic-style discourse to stimulate critical thinking with the ancient practice of shodō (Japanese calligraphy) to promote mindfulness and discipline. Students don't just learn about virtues; they engage with them through case studies, interactive activities, and a final community service project.
Designed by Director Janine Gerzanics, Ph.D., and Co-Creator John Edwards, M.A., these materials---including the Curriculum Guide and Closing Ceremony Handbook---provide everything to lead a successful course marking the start of a life of honor and success.
Culminating in a momentous ceremony, The Code is more than a set of rules; it's a strategy for living nobly in a complex world.
