Designed for private households, our session based programs focus on developing the practical skills and confidence for teenagers to overcome any situation on their own – and transform themselves into modern adults.
LIVE THE LIFE YOU DESERVE
We teach success in six areas:
Well-being
Feelings of well-being are fundamental to the overall health on an individual. It is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It includes having high life satisfaction, a sense of meaning or purpose and the ability to manage stress. Common areas for development include: improving resilience, self-confidence, anger management skills and self-esteem.
Home Life
Manage time productively, organize school work, keep up with household tasks, such as cleaning and laundry, carry out property maintenance and repairs, plan and cook healthy meals, learn essential administration skills and manage screen time!
Travel
Learn how to use public transport, explore a city safely, plan a trip abroad, pack an overnight bag, read a map, learn basic orienteering and make contingency plans.
Practical Skills
Develop a fitness routine and learn practical skills such as self-defense, first aid, campsite and survival techniques, interview skills, car maintenance and more.
Social Skills
Improve conversation skills and interview techniques, understand friendships, learn to make friends in new situations, diffuse conflict, read body language, and effectively manage feelings such as anger, anxiety or impulses.
Finance
Understand how to manage money, create a monthly budget, open a new bank account, learn how much things cost and improve awareness of everyday spending.
Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, you should teach them all the things you were never taught.
Material wears out but knowledge stays.
