"Education that fosters breakthrough talents who brighten their surroundings with positive energy, not survival talents who react with fear of the future"

"Power education method that creates global talents with solid skills and inner power"
"School is a ‘powernasium’ that fosters students' good capabilities!"
In Korean schools today, there are teachers who judge children based on grades and rankings, and students who need teachers only as tools to get into good universities. At home, parents are also obsessed with building up their children's specs. However, here, there is a school with students with outstanding personalities and skills, healthy bodies, and inner power, and teachers who care for their students with love and devotion. In addition, the parents of students attending this school trust the school and the teachers and participate in fostering their children's power together with the school.
After receiving his PhD from KAIST and his post-doctorate from Stanford, Dr. Kevin Hajin Choi left his life of guaranteed success behind to volunteer and teach and serve young college students. About 20 years ago, he dreamed of a school that would make children smile and develop various powers, and founded a school called ‘Powernasium’ with his disciples.
He says that education is not about raising students’ grades, but about developing their capabilities, and that studying is not simply about acquiring knowledge, but about developing various powers. In this way, he created a unique ‘Seven-power Education’ method that cultivates talents who are not products but great works.
This book contains the educational philosophy and methods of Dr. Choi’s school, which educates with network power, mental power, brain power, moral power, leadership power, body power, and spiritual power, which are necessary for talents who will lead the 21st century. This is a new paradigm of education that cultivates not only gifted students who are obsessed with grades, but also powerful people who possess excellent humanity, intelligence, strong mentality, servant leadership, and spirituality that brightens the world.
The book contains real educational cases, specific alternatives, and power education tips that parents and teachers can easily practice. Therefore, it will be a good guidebook for parents who want their children to become people who are full of gratitude and love, capable, and have a good influence, and for teachers who desire a new change in education.
