Description
In this 9-lesson asynchronous class, students will acquire practical and valuable life skills that are often not covered in schools, such as financial management, purchasing a car and home, meal planning, banking, filing income taxes, and more! Drawing from my experience in helping my own children transition into adulthood, I developed Adulting 102 to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and the practical skills essential for thriving in the real world. This course provides an in-depth exploration of vital life skills every teen needs for independence and success in adult life.
***This Is An Asynchronous Class, meaning I will be providing feedback on any enrichments or assessments you turn in to me***
Course Format
This course covers 9 lessons, offering a comprehensive, self-paced learning experience. Signing up for asynchronous learning means that I will be providing you feedback on your enrichment activities. If you are not looking for that added feature, please choose the self-paced class option instead.
