PEAK READINESS is an in-depth life skill, independent living, and motivational curriculum for young people, with approx. 20 hours of instruction. The focus is independent living for teens, through simulation of a number of real world factors. The Course will guide students, step-by-step, to craft a detailed vision of their independent adult future, and create a clear and specific picture of what’s possible. They will learn a variety of life skills to build the confidence necessary to reach their goals. Their plan is uniquely theirs, they created it, and they are more committed to taking the responsibility to making it come true. Peak Readiness guides them to compare the uncertainty of their expectations with the reality of their capabilities.

Peak Readiness now includes an integrated pre- and post-assessment to measure student shifts in knowledge, skills, understanding, and motivation. Teacher/Sponsor tracking and reporting tools are provided to access student progress, activity results, assessment outcomes, journal entries, and to produce reports.
