moral instruction
Lessons in virtue
Moral instruction is teaching that aims to develop a person's sense of right and wrong.
It may come from parents, religious institutions, schools, or other sources of authority, and typically involves conveying ethical principles, values, and standards of conduct.
The term often implies a deliberate, structured approach to instilling morality, as opposed to lessons absorbed informally through life experience.
The school's curriculum includes moral instruction alongside academic subjects.
