The School of Life (TSOL) is Praxium’s flagship initiative, co-created with youths and experienced mentors to complement traditional academia. This 10-week program goes beyond textbooks, focusing on developing real-world life skills often overlooked in day-to-day curricula.

We believe life skills are best taught and caught in experiences specially designed to mimic real-life intergenerational interactions. Unlike regular school and typical enrichment classes elsewhere, classes at TSOL comprise youths from a mix of ages engaging in facilitated interdisciplinary learning, discussions and collaboration. This encourages healthy role-modeling by senior youths, and reverse mentoring from younger peers.

At the core of TSOL is hands-on learning and metacognition ("reflective thinking"), where participants reflect on their real-life experiences, observations and thought processes; refine strategies, and develop personalized problem-solving approaches. This empowers them to cultivate a mindset for lifelong learning, build self-awareness, resilience, and decision-making skills—critical for thriving in an ever-changing world.
