About Character Lab

Founded in 2013 by two educators (Dave Levin and Dominic Randolph) and one
scientist (Angela Duckworth), Character Lab is a nonprofit dedicated to
advancing scientific insights that help kids thrive. By connecting
researchers with educators, Character Lab seeks to create greater knowledge
about the conditions that lead to social, emotional, academic, and physical
well-being for young people throughout the country. To learn more, go to
www.characterlab.org.

Research suggests that character encompasses a multitude of strengths that
can be organized into three dimensions: strengths of heart (interpersonal),
like gratitude, enable harmonious relationships with other people; strengths
of will (intrapersonal), like grit and self-control, enable achievement;
and strengths of mind (intellectual), like curiosity, enable independent
thinking.

Our culture is both challenging (we’re never done improving) and supportive
(one of our core values is excessive generosity). We are a small team
working under one roof. To learn more, read our Culture Book
