Character Ed is a volunteer-led program at EBS to help instill key values and life skills in our students at every grade level.
Q: What does Character Ed teach?
A: At EBS, we align with the 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey and the Leader In Me program. Each month we will focus on applying one ‘habit’ that will help students build traits like responsibility, perseverance, empathy and teamwork.
