A character education program that supports schools and community-based organizations in preparing youth to successfully handle the complexities of today’s society.
Our curriculum prepares students to enhance their self-confidence, motivation, and self-esteem. The program uses age-appropriate, grade-specific lesson plans to give youth skills and information that will help them make positive decisions for themselves, their families, and their futures.
Learning for Life makes academic learning fun and relevant to real-life situations. As a result, the positive character traits and skills students learn not only make them more confident and capable, but also give them an invaluable understanding of how things work in the real world. Schools will see higher attendance rates and fewer disciplinary actions.
Mission StatementTo empower students to build exceptional character and leadership skills by guiding them through an innovative, research-based curriculum that enhances the learning experience and teaches the skills necessary to succeed both academically and throughout their lives.
VisionTo provide engaging and relevant PreK–12 solutions that positively impact academic performance, social & emotional maturity, character development, and career education for all students.

How It Works
1
Flexible Lessons
Lessons can supplement your primary plan or be taught in a single 45-minute classroom session.
2
Real-Life Learning
Real-life situations, hands-on activities, and role-playing help students reflect on and apply lessons to their own experiences in and out of school.
3
Stronger Classrooms
Students feel a better sense of belonging, tend to respect the rules, and get along better with each other, reducing fighting, bullying, and classroom disruptions.
We have had the LFL program for many years and it has become part of our curriculum to provide character lessons to our students on a consistent basis. Over the years, teachers have witnessed first-hand the benefits of incorporating character traits in their daily routine. Students feel a better sense of belonging, tend to respect the rules, and get along better with each other, thus reducing the incidents of fighting, bullying, and classroom disruptions.
