Objectives The purpose of this study is to devise a convergence model for character cultivation and education of sustainable development(ESD).
 Methods To this end, a literature study was conducted to analyze the subject goals, content elements, achieve-ment standards, and learning activities of the 5th to 6th grades of elementary school in the 2022 revised curricu-lum, and to analyze the contents of ESD fused with personality elements. Based on the analysis, the subject of the personality cultivation ESD convergence model was selected, and the personality cultivation ESD convergence model and case were developed. To improve the validity, a questionnaire survey was conducted on five experts to collect opinions on the selection of learning topics, educational competencies and goals, educational content, teaching and learning methods, evaluation, and model development as a whole.
 Results The results of the study are as follows. First, the principle of developing a convergence model for person-ality cultivation and ESD is to select convergent competencies, use convergence achievement standards, and pro-ceed in a way linked to life. Second, after extracting achievement standards for each related subject, developing ESD achievement standards, and deriving convergence goals, convergence model topics were selected to select topics for the development of a convergence model for personality cultivation and ESD. Third, it goes through the stages of planning, preparation, development, and improvement to develop a convergence model and case for personality cultivation and ESD. For the 2022 revised 5th to 6th grade curriculum, the 10th session of the project of a convergence model for personality cultivation and ESD under the theme of “Cooperation and Ideas to Make Our City a Better Place” was developed.
 Conclusions Achievement standards for each element of ESD are needed. Various convergence models for per-sonality cultivation and ESD are important.
