What your student will learn

How to respond when someone is hurt. How money, credit, and a first paycheck work. How to read a map, change a tire, and keep a home running. The skills most curriculums skip.

How it works

Five short video lessons a week for twelve weeks, self-paced. A quiz closes each week, and 80% passes. Finish all twelve and your student earns a certificate worth a suggested 0.5 elective credit. Compass Life Skills is an approved Arkansas EFA vendor. Arkansas EFA families can pay through ClassWallet, subject to their available balance.
