What Is SOAR?

What Skills Do Students Need for Success in the Information Age?

Today’s students are not equipped with the necessary skills to: organize, process, manage, prioritize and learn from the massive amounts of information they encounter!  This is especially true for students in a virtual learning environment.

That’s why the SOAR® Learning & Soft Skills Curriculum (aka SOAR® Study Skills Curriculum) teaches the most critical learning, organizing, and communication skills needed to be successful in school and, eventually, in the workplace! Since 2007, our “original” curriculum has been preparing students for academic success; now we’ve added modules for virtual learning, as well!

Those skills include:

What Grades/Subjects Use This Curriculum?

Regardless if students are in 6th grade or a senior in college, the types of academic tasks they have to do are all the same. Therefore, the strategies in the SOAR® Curriculum are appropriate for:

  • Upper elementary
  • Middle school
  • High school
  • College

However, some skills are not age-appropriate for mastery at younger levels. (We still recommend exposing students to these skills at lower levels.)

See our Grade-Level Continuum for a full outline of age-appropriate mastery levels.

Furthermore, SOAR® prides itself on being student friendly and efficient.  That’s specifically why we do NOT recommend burdening students with different study skills for different subjects.  SOAR® has masterfully identified the essential, 80/20 skills that bring proven results in every subject.  Plus, when students focus on the most essential skills, they also develop mastery, which leads to years of successful learning outcomes in school and even into the workplace.
