Practical Life Skills at The Lings School
At The Lings School, we believe that education is more than textbooks and tests—it’s about preparing students for life. Our Practical Life Skills Program is a core part of our holistic approach to learning, designed to equip students with essential real-world abilities that foster independence, confidence, and social responsibility.
Integrated Weekly Learning
Implemented every Friday across all branches and grade levels (Playgroup to Grade 10), the Practical Life Skills program provides structured, hands-on experiences that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication. These life lessons are carefully aligned with each child’s developmental stage to ensure relevance and impact.

At The Lings School, we are committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are ready to face the challenges of the real world—with confidence, empathy, and a strong moral compass.
