Philosophy:
God created us in His image.  This image of God as a holistic being means that every part of our lives is to be touched by His grace and strength.  God created us with the ability to live competently on this earth, taking charge of it (subduing it), and in doing so being able to take care of ourselves and those we have been called to care for.  This image of God includes the ability to be creative, using our life skills not to just get things done, but to bring us joy and to be a blessing to those around us.

Core Objective:
 This course is to provide life skills for the student, so that he/she can live with competency in the areas of cooking, budgeting, cleaning, mending, doing laundry and taking care of one’s self.  This course will enable the student to be independent in a way that will not only benefit the student, but also bring blessing to those he shares his life with.
