Character Education
Character education is a teaching method that fosters the development of ethical and responsible individuals by teaching them about good values. It teaches students the values of caring about others, honesty, responsibility, and other important traits that make for an upstanding citizen. Teaching good character assists students in facing many opportunities and unknown dangers they may confront. Character education equips students with the knowledge they need to recognize dangers in life and address them effectively.
