Welcome to Life Skills Academy!

What We Teach

Who Are Our Courses For?

Who Are Our Courses For?

We cover a wide range of life skills like critical thinking, emotional intelligence, financial literacy, career options and household maintenance (more detailed list in the course descriptions). Studies have shown that skills like Emotional Intelligence are very important to a person's success in life, and also improve academic performance. Schools often do not have time to teach these skills because they have so many pressures to teach their state mandated curriculum.

Who Are Our Courses For?

While some places use the term 'Life Skills' to refer to basic skills for Special Needs children, this does not apply to our curriculum. Our program is intended for all children.


Our goal is simple: To equip all middle and high school students with life skills that will help them to be happy and successful in life, and improve their academic performance.

More About Our Courses

Our classes are FUN - students want to come! We use a heavily discussion based (Socratic) instruction / guided exploration format that requires and rewards student participation. Every student will feel like his or her opinion is heard and valued. In addition, kids can see immediately how our subjects could be useful to them on a practical basis in their lives, which gives them an incentive to attend. We also have some fun field trips! 

Students who wish to attend refresher training can attend future classes at no charge if space is available.

Here is an entertaining music video about life skills that are not being taught in schools, sung by pop group BoyInaBand. We just happen to touch on most of the topics he describes :-)
