Using the Life Experience Curriculum, Special Studies students learned to cope with practical, life situations. The all-important aspect of this curriculum was vocational material dealing with job opportunities, salaries and working conditions. Seniors were given the option of on-the-job training, enabling them to pursue their vocational interests.
