Life skills are the practical tools and abilities that serve us in everyday life, from money management and decision-making to housekeeping and healthy living. These abilities help your child gain independence and navigate the world with confidence.
At Power Homeschool, we understand the importance of practical knowledge to your child’s growth, so we offer elective life skills courses. Our online, self-paced Acellus® curriculum serves children pre-K through 12 to meet your learner at every stage of development.
