青少年時期是人生中極為關鍵的階段。這個階段不僅僅是學業壓力的高峰，更是自我認同、價值觀養成與未來方向逐漸明朗的時刻。許多孩子在這個時期會面臨來自學校、家庭、同儕、感情與自我探索等多方面的挑戰。這些議題不僅影響心理健康，也深刻影響著社會適應力與未來的生涯發展。
學業成績不是唯一指標
在超越教育的理念中，我們相信，單靠學業成績並不足以培養出完整且健康的人格。現實生活中，孩子們需要面對的遠比考試多得多，包括如何與人相處、如何認識自己、如何做出正確選擇等。因此，我們在營隊中特別設計了涵蓋學校、家庭、朋友、約會、成癮、價值觀等真實生活議題的課程，幫助孩子建立自信與判斷力，為未來打下堅實基礎。
營隊如何幫助孩子探索自我？
1. 系統化課程設計
我們的課程圍繞「六大決策」與「五大品格」展開，讓孩子能夠系統性地理解現實生活中的選擇與挑戰，並協助他們釐清自己的價值觀與人生目標。
2. 體驗式學習與討論
透過戶外探索、團隊合作和角色扮演等體驗式活動，學員能在真實情境中學習表達自己、與人溝通並進行自我反思。這些經驗有助於他們在未來遇到困難時，能夠更有自信地面對與解決。
3. 一對一輔導與成長記錄
每位學員皆有機會與導師進行個別對話，根據個人特質與興趣共同規劃未來方向，並記錄成長過程，讓孩子看到自己的進步與蛻變。
4. 自我表達與公開分享
我們鼓勵學員在台上分享自己的目標與未來藍圖，這不僅能增強自信，也能提升表達能力，讓孩子學會勇敢說出自己的想法。
5. 多元文化交流
營隊安排與當地高中生共同學習與生活，讓孩子在跨文化環境中學習尊重與包容，拓展國際視野，理解多元價值。
6. 家庭議題的反思
透過「給父母的一封信」等活動，學員能深入思考家庭關係，學會感恩與溝通，促進親子間的理解與連結。
一場發現自我與成長的旅程
超越教育的營隊不僅僅是一次學習活動，更是一場自我探索、成長與蛻變的旅程。我們相信，幫助青少年面對現實生活中的核心議題，才能真正引導他們建立健康的人格，釐清人生方向，並為未來的生活與學業奠定堅實基礎。
在超越教育，每一位孩子都能找到屬於自己的答案，勇敢迎向人生的下一個階段。
Building a Strong Foundation for the Future: A Summer Camp That Fosters True Growth Through Character
Have you ever wondered—aside from academic achievement—what abilities your child truly needs for the future?
According to a 2024 nationwide survey of parents in Taiwan, “character education” ranked as the number one educational concern! Traits like honesty, responsibility, and empathy may seem abstract, but they are, in fact, the most enduring cornerstones of a child’s lifelong development.
At Beyond Education, we believe that true learning begins with self-understanding, and true growth starts with the choices they make.
A Child’s Ability to Choose Shapes Their Future
Every day, children face decisions—whether to finish their homework, who to befriend, whether to tell the truth. Without guidance in judgment and values, they can easily lose their way.
That’s why we designed the “I AM Program”, a summer curriculum centered on youth decision-making and character development. We guide students step-by-step to:
🔸 Think independently and make sound judgments
🔸 Express their feelings and respect others
🔸 Practice making decisions in real-life scenarios
The 6 Core Life Choices: Learning to Take Charge of Their Own Lives
Each day of our camp is built around discussions, practice, and reflection on six essential life topics. From daily decisions, we help children develop critical thinking and a sense of responsibility for their actions:
- School: What is the real value of education? What kind of person do you want to become?
- Friends: How should friends treat each other? How do you tell a true friend from a fake one?
- Parents: How can you express your emotions and understanding toward your family?
- Dating: What does a healthy relationship look like? What mindset should you have in building one?
- Addictions: How do you recognize addictive behaviors? How do you say “no” to temptation?
- Self-worth: Who am I? What makes me worthy and unique?
These aren’t just knowledge-based discussions—they’re interactive, reflective, and often involve role-playing to help kids process their own views and develop a personal code of conduct.
The 5 Core Character Values: Raising Kids with Strength and Character
Through diverse activities and team-based challenges, we intentionally create opportunities for students to internalize five key character traits:
- Honesty: Expressing yourself sincerely and respecting the truth
- Integrity: Standing by your principles rather than seeking approval
- Responsibility: Taking ownership of your choices and actions
- Empathy: Understanding and considering others’ perspectives
- Perseverance: Staying committed through setbacks and challenges
We believe that building character doesn’t happen in a single lecture—it requires a safe, trusting environment where kids can practice, stumble, reflect, and grow.
A Word of Advice If You’re Planning Your Child’s Summer:
Before filling their resume or focusing on college prep, give your child the space to discover who they are and build their inner compass.
Above grades and skills, it is character that will carry them through life.
Empower your child to grow—bolder in spirit, wiser in choices, and rooted in who they are.
