Some Nova Scotia high schools have a brand new course this year called Life 11! It’s basically what it sounds. You learn about adulting and adult life skills and responsibilities. It’s aimed top teach grade 11 students the basic skills that they will need in a few short years like…

How to file taxes
Credit Cards
Interest Rates

These four schools will be offereing this non mandory class this year.

Semester 1:
Riverview Rural High School, CBVRCE
Yarmouth Consolidated Memorial High School, TCRCE

Semester 2:
Baddeck Academy, CBVRCE
TBA

I think this is a great idea! Would you have taken this class in High School? What else should kids be taught about “adulting”?
