Life Skills and Family Science Course Overview:

Life Skills and Family Science - MyFunScience.comEvery parent’s question is: “Is my high schooler ready to handle life in the real world?” The interaction with our families and how we handle the inevitable day to day problems will determine how successful we become as contributors to society. There are essential building blocks that place an individual on that solid foundation.

In the high school level “Not Your Mom’s Home Ec. Class” (Life Skills and Family Science), students will learn skills to help them navigate successful living on their own. Topics include Responsible Independence, Time Management (in a Social Media World), Healthy Eating and Hygiene, Gardening and Food Preservation, Family Life and Marriages that Last, Servant Leadership in the Home, Financial Decisions/Budgeting and Filing Taxes. A large part of the class will cover practical application for household management including fixing faucets and toilets, changing fuses, installing a light fixture, changing furnace filters, etc. We will even hit the garage with fixing a flat tire and changing the oil. Yes, they will be ready, not just to handle life in the “real world”, but as confident and thriving adults.

Course Reviews:

I wanted to let you know that Caleb completed the Budget worksheet. Great exercise for all of us! It spurred on conversations about how you can save for emergencies, entertainment but also what happens if you have more month at the end of the money. Great variety of talking points around the breakfast table. Thanks!
Loving “Not your Mom’s Home EC Class” with Angie Baer! These boys are making ome yummy meals every week! Last night Ethan made homemade mashed potatoes with chip beef gravy. Tonight, Eli made Homemade Baked Potato Soup and cornbread from scratch. Delicious!
We did everything from doing laundry and cooking, to changing oil, to finding out our love languages. It was a really awesome class that really showed the importance of teenagers needing to learn these skills.: – Chloe M.
My daughter just finished Health & Wellness with Angie Baer. And both daughters will take her Home Ec and our sons her science class. Amazing teacher and godly women!! Love her!!” – Kim H.
“Thank you again for offering this class this semester! Annabelle is loving this class and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the assignments! I am sending along some of Annabelle’s pictures…most weeks she takes a day to make a super nutritious hot lunch (Stir Fry, Mexican Soup) and last night it was a bacon and veggie Frittata topped with hot sauce and Greek yogurt (YUM!) for dinner! She is learning so much and having so much fun in the process.” – Jennifer G.
