EACDT delivers an innovative Character Education Programme, inspired by the work of the world renowned KIPP Foundation, that develops and instils in the participating young children seven key characteristics widely recognised as the best predictors of personal and professional success:
The conscious, deliberate development of clearly-identified character qualities. Experts insist that character should be “taught” as well as “caught” (in other words that its development should not be left merely to accident) and that effective Character Education is intentional, planned, organised and reflective.
These qualities have been defined as are ENTHUSIASM – PERSEVERANCE – SELF-CONTROL – OPTIMISM – GRATITUDE – SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE – CURIOSITY – INTEGRITY
