What is Virtue?

In this episode of Wisdom and Virtue, we're asking a big question: What exactly is virtue? We'll explore its roots in classical thought and the Christian tradition, look at how it differs from values, and talk about why virtue isn't just about looking good but about being formed into the kind of people who love what is good. We'll also get practical—discussing what virtue looks like in daily life and why it matters so much in the life of a school. From classroom conversations to our House system at UCA, we'll share how virtue is practiced, modeled, and even grown through failure and grace. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or student of life, this episode will encourage you to think about virtue not as an abstract idea, but as a habit of excellence rooted in Christ.
