13 Stones Program

---

This interactive 13-week program is ideal for high school students and their parents/caregivers. Our program teaches basic life skills to kids between the ages of 14 and 17 (*9th-11th graders). We cover one chapter (stone) per week. Students engage in group discussions, ask questions, and are required to complete reading and writing assignments. Parents and caregivers are invited to attend the beginning of each class to review and debrief what transpired during the week. 

This program includes a mandatory orientation for the students and parents/caregivers.
