Our Character Education Programme is designed to assist teachers, school leaders and parents in developing the character of students and young people. With a portfolio of about thirty (30) essential traits, we are dedicated to teaching students and young people how to become responsible citizens and ethical leaders. Below are snapshots of some of our traits.
"We were invited to participate in the character education committee representing the parents. We’ve had a wonderful experience with the committee to help other parents to understand and appreciate what the program is seeking to achieve in the lives of our children. We saw the positive impact this program had on the children as we dealt with core traits like courage, responsibility, and gratefulness."
"The programme is a wonderful concept because civic education deals with orientation and re-orientation of character and values. I see the works of the Kofi A. Tawiah Foundation as complementary to our work at NCCE because we have a common goal of developing good citizens. I believe that with this particular programme, we are going to learn a few more techniques which will enhance the work that we are doing with the youths in this country."
In ICS, Character First Education provides the foundation for positive traits in the life for our learners and teachers. Our learners are conscious of the right thing to do and are committed in doing it.
“Deyoungster’s International School believes in raising leaders with strong character and that made us embrace the character education programme with so much enthusiasm. The programme has impacted the teaching and learning process in the school. This opportunity brought to us through the Kofi A. Tawiah Foundation should be extended to as many Ghanaian children as possible so we can raise leaders or citizens with strong character”.

When we talk about character, we mean the inward values that determine outward actions; the mental model used for making decisions; the moral compass that guides your choices; who we are when no one else is watching.
