Back When will provide students with numerous opportunities to examine 19th century folkways, discuss 19th century lifestyles and act out 19th century behaviour by portraying characters in plays and skits whose values, manners, language, habits and work roles reflect compassion, respect, responsibility, perseverance and trust. Students will be introduced to alternative modes of behavior by using comparison and contrast to analyze the differences between 19th and 20th century lifestyles.
    While learning about values is a lifelong process, Back When is intended to help children refocus their ideals and principles by supporting a solid ethical system and providing tools for self mastery and empathy. Such tools equip children to become a moral force in the community. 

Back When aspires to: 

• Increase desire for self improvement and excellence in skill mastery.
• Enhance respect for teachers, parents and other authority figures.
• Build social skills for working together toward a common goal.
• Promote interest in the work ethic.
• Heighten ethical literacy
• Decrease prejudice, self hatred and peer cruelty.
• Elevate appreciation for history of your surroundings, family and self.
• Emphasize community service.
