The Life Skills program incorporates an academic, functional, and developmental curriculum designed for students whose needs cannot be met solely in the general education environment. The Life Skills program provides an environment which allows for learning that is individualized, appropriate to each student's developmental and functional level, and supports the unique needs of students. All students receive instruction through the Life Skills program are an integral part of their school community and receive instruction in their least restrictive environment (LRE).

Academic instruction is the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) based using the TEKS essence statements and vertical alignment. The anticipated outcomes for each student is to ensure functional outcomes that are sustainable after the student graduates by providing a positive environment which prepares students to live as independently as possible, work, enjoy life, contribute to their community, and be lifelong learners.
