你是否也曾經想過：孩子學業成績之外，最該具備的是什麼能力？
根據 2024 年全台家長調查顯示，「品格教育」高居教育關注議題第一名！誠實、責任感、同理心……這些看似抽象的品格，其實才是孩子一生中最深遠的基石。
在超越教育，我們相信：真正的學習，從理解自己開始；真正的成長，從行為選擇開始。
孩子的選擇力，決定他們的未來
孩子每天都在做選擇——要不要完成作業？跟誰交朋友？該不該說實話？面對這些選擇時，他們如果缺乏判斷力與價值觀的引導，就容易迷失方向。
因此，我們設計了以青少年決策力與品格教育為核心的「I AM Program」系列課程，在夏令營中引導孩子一步步學會：
🔸 如何獨立思考與判斷
🔸 如何表達感受並尊重他人
🔸 如何在真實情境中練習做選擇
六大決策：學會為自己做主
營隊中的每一天，我們都陪伴孩子討論、練習、反思這六大核心生活議題，從日常開始，建立思辨能力與行動的責任感：
- School｜學校與職涯：什麼是學習的真正價值？你想成為怎樣的人？
- Friends｜友情與人際：朋友之間要如何互相尊重？如何分辨真正的朋友？
- Parents｜家庭關係：用什麼方式表達對家人的情感與理解？
- Dating｜關係與尊重：交往是什麼？該用什麼心態去建立關係？
- Addictions｜誘惑與反思：如何辨識成癮風險？怎麼說出「不」？
- Self-worth｜自我與價值：我是誰？我有什麼值得被肯定？
這些討論不只是知識的輸入，而是透過互動、角色扮演與討論，幫助孩子從中整理自己的觀點，發展出屬於自己的行動準則。
五大品格：不只是會做事，更是會做人
在多元的活動與團隊合作中，我們也刻意設計了能讓孩子內化以下五大關鍵品格的情境：
- Honesty｜誠實：真誠表達自己，尊重真相
- Integrity｜正直：堅守原則，不為討好他人而改變
- Responsibility｜責任：為自己的選擇與行為負責
- Empathy｜同理心：懂得站在他人角度思考
- Perseverance｜毅力：面對困難不放棄，學會堅持到底
我們相信：學會品格，不是一場講座能完成的事，而是需要在安全、信任的環境中慢慢醞釀與練習。
給正在為孩子找暑期計畫的你一個建議：
在孩子填補履歷、準備申請之前，請先給他們一個認識自己、建立信念的機會。
在成績與才能之上，品格才是真正撐起人生的根基。
讓孩子從現在開始，成為更勇敢、更有方向的自己。
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.
