The middle school program introduces and presents skills that are relevant to the needs of younger adolescents. The high school program reinforces and develops the same skills with applications that are relevant to the needs of older teenagers. Both curricula are designed to encompass a variety of individual and collaborative learning techniques, and the activities are designed to stimulate critical and creative thinking skills in students. Both continually engage students in motivational activities.
