Character building is a process of shaping a person's identity. It involves many aspects, including independent learning and students' experiences. Independent learning encourages students to build their own character because they have to think for themselves and find their own ways to solve problems. Experience, meanwhile, prepares students to handle the challenges and obstacles they will face in the real world. Below, we explain how Global Sevilla School builds the character of its students.

Mindfulness Program

The Mindfulness Program is an educational program designed to help students pay closer attention to their surroundings. It also teaches them how to stay calm and relaxed during activities and classroom learning, which helps them achieve more satisfying and better results. Students at Global Sevilla School typically spend about 40 minutes a week on the Mindfulness Program. This 40-minute session is considered the most effective amount of time for the brain to produce positive effects and absorb lessons more easily.

Community Service

Community Service is a program that focuses on how students can take an active role in helping people in the community who need assistance. The program also guides children to take part directly in social activities, such as visiting orphanages, joining gotong royong (community work), and visiting the homes of the elderly. Notably, the Community Service program at Global Sevilla School aims to teach students to care for others and to give to those who need it.

Leadership and Discipline

Another way Global Sevilla School builds student character is through leadership and discipline activities, such as scouting (pramuka) and OSIS (Intra-School Student Organization). Through these activities, students learn skills such as drill and marching formations, and they take part in other important school events.
