WJ Mouat Secondary School has been formally developing a School of Character philosophy since June of 2010. Following a Think Tank on June 3, 2010, a Character Committee was established which began meeting monthly, conducting research across North America, and developing a strategic plan to increase the intentionality of the character development of our students.

On June 30, 2011, a charter document (left) was signed by staff and students indicating Mouat's commitment to practicing and promoting the following character traits in our school community:
