The jump to secondary school can be tough, with more responsibilities and a higher workload.

How they handle this transition is crucial and sets the stage for the rest of their lives.

The goal of this bootcamp: equip them early. 

The Plan

Skillsets that will carry them through life

During your child’s time with us, we’ll focus on critical thinking skills that they simply don’t teach at school.

The earlier they master this, the more time they have to build confidence - before grades start counting for real.

We've distilled the essential qualities they need into a focused, 3-day bootcamp.

Day 1: Influence

To get what they want in life, your child needs to be able to be persuasive and to assert their stance effectively.

This is influence.

Day 2: Discernment

To communicate effectively, they need to be able to distinguish not only verbal and written communication, but also truth and deception.

This is discernment.

Day 3: Mindfulness

To thrive in social interactions, they need to develop a worldview while embracing a growth mindset to navigate challenges.

This is mindfulness.
