Organization and Habits combine to powerfully leverage a student’s time, consequently raising grades and lowering stress.
Course Description: Students who “own” their own schedule make life better for themselves and others. By implementing solid systems of organization, while building good habits, students can better utilize their time. This improves their grades, as well as their relationships with others. Stress is reduced for both parent and student when good habits are combined with a clear system. This course gives the resources and instruction for a Middle Schooler to seize this opportunity.
