LIFE SKILLS + SERVICE LEARNING
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Social Consciousness and Responsibility
Understanding how to best tackle life skills can be tricky as a student navigates through these formative years. The life skills program is woven into the daily curriculum through social studies and language arts. Through literature, role play, and discussion, students learn tools to help them make smart decisions and adapt to change.
