The adolescent's
program focuses on the process of learning, moving adolecents
from passive recipients of information to active generators
of ideas. The exercises teach new ways of processing information,
which can be applied in school as well as every aspect
of their lives.
Students gain better problem solving abilities and alternative
strategies for decision making, and they learn logical
thinking and organizational skills. These skills all lead
to better study habits, test-taking abilities, and grades.
The program helps provide insight and competence in difficult
school subjects and helps students identify their analytical
strengths and weaknesses. In addition, the successes they
achieve in this program increase their self-esteem and
confidence.

| • |
