Loved in Homes Everywhere.

Over 3,000 families served!
Homes across the nation are building capable young adults with SkillTrek.

    • SkillTrek has exceeded everything I hoped it would be. My children are eager to earn nuggets and master new skills, and the lessons have been fantastic jumping points for further discussion and learning. I highly recommend this program to all parents of children!

    • SkillTrek is the one thing I didn’t realize was missing from our homeschool journey. Having the ability to teach my children lessons that I am not able to teach myself, right from the site is worth its weight in gold. I can't wait to see what my children learn this year!

    • Finally! A curriculum that helps me prepare my kids with life skills they need. I am impressed with how simple the tasks are. No other curriculum covers this stuff!

    • My kids keep asking ‘Can we do SkillTrek?’ ... I love that they’re learning a wide range of life skills. It’s a busy mom win, for sure!

    • I’ve enjoyed reading these lessons. So many basic things that have been lost in our society, but if we followed them, we’d have a better environment. Respect for older people, responsibility, cleaning up after yourself, being helpful and having a spirit of kindness – how did we lose all those things? I appreciate that this is being put out there and would be a great addition to any family’s library.

    • I was totally blown away that my rambunctious five year old embraced the challenge of making his bed. Mastering this small task not only increased his self-esteem, but SkillTrek is not a one-time event; it’s a habit forming strategy. Ten weeks later, he’s still making his own bed every morning.
