The character education program for this age group at WASS helps to support and instruct to effectively navigate through this important stage of life.
The character education program “Character First Education” is a perfect contemporary program from America which is designed to help teachers, and parents to give appropriate guidance to students to develop their life skills and to improve themselves. The program encourages students to love their families, to behave ethically and to develop pride in traditional values.

Critical thinking methods help students encourage students to solve problems and to think by themselves. Students who are taught in this way become more interested in their studies and learn more effectively.
Through being taught by using experiential learning methods, students develop self-confidence in their competence through activities, by working in teams, and learning to meet the challenge of solving problems and decision making.
