The entire scholastic year revolves around major Life Skills & Event activities for the holistic development of the child.
The term, Life Skills, refers to the skills you need to make the most out of life. Wheaton International follows a robust Life Skills Programme. Our program aims at emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being with a rigorous learning program we have created.
Any skill that is useful in your life can be considered a life skill. Tying your shoelaces, swimming, driving a car, and using a computer are, for most people, useful life skills. Broadly speaking, the term, life skills, is usually used for any of the skills needed to deal effectively with the challenges of life
