Online live course on Do Hard Things?

[bluebonnetgirl]

Any suggestions for a winter/spring 2021 semester online LIVE course with teacher interaction that discusses the concept of "Do Hard Things." Something for a senior in high school that discusses personal goals, rules for life to be successful, etc.

WTM Academy has Life Skills for the Young Adult. We have not taken this one, but we love WTM Academy in general and Caro generally gets rave reviews. You can see the syllabus and get more info/register here. It looks like there are 4 more seats for the semester.

Thank you for this.  It seems to be more focused on personal finance.  My son will already be taking a class on personal finance. I am looking for more on personal communication, personal habits for success, etc.

I totally understand if it's not a good fit for him.

For the record, for anyone else looking, I did want to mention that the class is divided into four sessions of four weeks each. 

Weeks 1-4 are personal finance (and this is the longest list of items discussed, but it is still set at four weeks; setting a budget, managing accounts, credit/loans, insurance, life events/personal finance).

Weeks 5-8 are goal setting and planning (daily schedule, intentional goal-setting, reviewing budget/goals).

Weeks 9-12 are navigating the adult world (good citizenship, job interviews/interaction, social media and its perils).

Weeks 13-16 are practical matters (tools/maintenance, self-care/work-life balance).

Thank you once again for that specific breakdown.  If my son were not already registered for a dual enrollment personal finance course, I would have definitely considered it.

I believe I did find a course that focuses more on habits.  This is an 8 week course going through the Book 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. https://outschool.com/classes/success-depends-on-your-backbone-the-7-habits-of-highly-effective-teens-yy5X6Fbp#usOv9tKw56

I think I may sign my son up for it.

That looks great! I’m so glad you linked it! I might have my DS14 take it.
