Employers at all levels are seeking ethical and innovative employees who can work effectively with others, solve problems and build trust with co-workers and customers. Fortunately, these values can be nurtured early and especially during the formative years of the leaners. In this category we recognize schools that nurture young transformative leaders that end up being leaders of character. Such schools have put in place proper governance structures that help build confidence and authority in learners, how they speak out for what they truly believe, and how they address issues that move them. For example, these school instill democratic values by conducting free and fair elections for their student governments.
