LifePREP

LifePREP is a program for St. Gregory the Great 8th grade students who want to fine tune key life skills, such as developing self awareness, communicating, relationship building, decision making, generating income, managing time, and more — all with a Christian mindset. 

  • Know their strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, personality types, and areas of interest 
  • Build healthy relationships and communicate effectively with both peers and adults 
  • Master life’s day-to-day challenges: personal finances (i.e. budgets, credit, investing/long-term planning), time management, problem- solving, managing stress, influencing others, strategic planning, health & nutrition, government/politics, global awareness, and social graces/etiquette.
