Life Skills Education

Our daily Life Skills Education program includes diverse and flexible activities that are integrated as part of our theme-style learning.  We believe in providing hands-on experiences that relate to the learning happening in the classroom so as to connect real-life, applicable skills.  Life Skills education offers the student an experience that will help prepare them for a life full of changes and challenges, providing them with the knowledge and ability to handle a wide range of experiences outside of school.  At Via Vita Academy, it could include First Aid and CPR, money management, construction, repairs, technology application and development, self-esteem and empathy, cooking, sewing, and gardening, and more!  We include a variety of Life Skill training opportunities to meet the interests, abilities, and life goals of our students.  By providing real, hands-on experiences, students are a part of the learning process and can make personal connections and meaning out of why and how something is learned.   A variety of life skills are infused into the curriculum so as to become a natural way of learning and teaching for our students and teachers.  ​It provides them with opportunities to test themselves, gain abilities, and grow as an individual.
