Focused character building fosters ethical, responsible, and caring young people by modeling and teaching behavior through an emphasis on universal values. Character building is the intentional, proactive focus on values such as respect for self and others, responsibility, integrity, and self-discipline. These skills are core for developing emotional intelligence.
SEL, (Social and emotional learning – EQ) focuses on developing attitudes and skills for managing emotions, achieving goals, developing empathy, maintaining healthy relationships, and making responsible decisions. These skills are critical to academic and life success and are built through engagement in pro-social activities in and out of the classroom.
