What makes your program special or different?

Our Program is intentionally focused on holistic life skills development as part of preparing kids for an unknown future. In the age of exponential technological advancements, human skills become front and centre, and cannot be replaced. Our curriculum is specifically designed to cultivate a positive mindset, recognising how thoughts influence our wellbeing. We also dive into financial literacy, digital literacy, personal health and wellness and time and project management basics to ensure that every participant is equipped with the foundational skills that will support them through the journey of life. Through it all, we infuse teamwork, problem-solving and critical thinking to address the concepts above. We believe in making education come alive, transforming every moment into a learning opportunity by offering hands-on learning activities, real-world applications, and sessions/workshops with guest speakers from diverse professional backgrounds. Our program is geared towards preparing our kids for life!

What will children do and experience?

Participants will embark on a transformative journey through Luminara Academy's Programs, laying the foundation for a brighter, more adept future. While a week isn't enough to master these vital skills, it's a start that introduces them to key concepts such as:

• Financial Literacy: The foundation for responsible financial habits. We introduce the basics of managing finances, from understanding the value of money to smart saving and spending.
• Digital Literacy & Safety: In this digital age, understanding how to navigate the online world safely is crucial. Gain insights on digital safety, responsible internet use, and managing social media’s impact on mental health.
• Personal Health & Wellness: Explore physical health, nutrition, mental well-being, stress management, and mindfulness habits.
• Mindset & Power of Thoughts: Understanding the impact of mindset on one’s life is crucial. We explore how a positive mindset can influence our wellbeing.
• Time Management: Time is a valuable resource, and we teach students how to effectively manage it. Learn about organizing tasks, setting priorities, and making the most of their day
• Project Management: Learn basics of project planning and execution.

While our program provides an introduction, the goal is to ignite a passion for these critical skills. Through hands-on learning activities, real-world applications, and guest speakers from various professional backgrounds, we seek to instill an enduring enthusiasm that will transfer to practical applications in their daily lives, encouraging continuous self-growth and exploration.
