LifeREADY

Senior School

Upper School marks a period of immense growth and boundless potential, where students embark on a journey of self-discovery and exploration. Building upon the foundation laid in Middle School, our LifeReady program takes these confident and capable learners and further hones their skills with a focus on real-life application.

As students navigate through Upper School, our dedicated Guidance coaches continue to support them in refining their interests and aspirations. Through exposure to university and college programs, students have the opportunity to translate their passions into future career paths. By providing guidance and valuable insights, we empower students to architect their own successful futures while proactively addressing the necessities of achievement.

LifeReady offers Upper School students firsthand experiences that mirror real-life scenarios outside the classroom. From mastering essential financial literacy and planning skills to learning the art of nutritious cooking and meal management, students gain practical knowledge that will serve them well in adulthood. They also learn crucial life skills such as resume writing, interview techniques, digital citizenship, and effective time management.

We look to provide hands-on real opportunities whenever possible including areas such as:

  • Financial Literacy and Financial Planning

  • Culinary Proficiency for Independent Living and Balanced Nutrition

  • Crafting Professional Profiles: Resume Writing, Interview Etiquette, and Job Application Skills

  • Excelling in Group Dynamics: Effective Communication in Various Settings

  • Navigating the Digital Age: Making Safe and Thoughtful Choices

  • Post Secondary Preparation: Selecting Courses, Staying Organized and Managing Stress

  • Efficient Time Management Strategies to Meet and Surpass Expectations

  • How to be a leader others want to follow

At InnovOak, LifeReady isn't just a buzzword—it's a guiding principle that informs our interactions with parents, shapes our program planning, and directs our teachers in delivering personalized and meaningful education. With a focus on individualized learning and achievement of IHGSD and OSSD standards, LifeReady in Upper School ensures that every young adult emerges prepared to embrace life with confidence and independence.
