Community of Lifelong Learning
The Skool' of L.I.F.E. is an educational, arts program offered by the REIGNbow ReNEWed LIFE Center. The mission is to improve the social and communication skills for our youth ages 12 to 28 with high-functioning Asperger's Syndrome or Autism. We also support parents of Autistic or Aspie* children ages 6 to 11.
The effect of COVID-19 has proven that social interaction is crucial for the wellness of most people. During this time, Autistics or Aspies suffer because socializing is not their natural inclination. Therefore, we offer enriching classes and activities with the ultimate goal of improvement. Research and personal experience reveals participation in The Arts is therapeutic and fun. Thus, it is the basis for our ecumenical teaching approach of . . .
- Love [Philia + Agape] Philia refers to love based on common values, joint interests, mutual respect, and shared devotion. Agape refers to the fatherly love of GOD for humans, as well as the human reciprocal love for GOD.
- Inspiration - The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
- Faith - The strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
