The world is developing at an exponential rate and schools have to prioritize equipping students with Skill sets which will help them navigate around the real world. We at Chrysalis High believe that along with academic excellence students should be endowed with an arsenal of diverse skills required to be successful in the real world. Chrysalis High’s excellent team of teachers and academic counselors shower students with tips for academic success in high school along with real-world skills. Academic success might help you get admitted into a very good institute for higher studies but if students don’t have the skills required to be successful in the real world they will not be able to thrive and be successful. Mentioned below are several skills students should master to become successful after passing school. 

1. Critical Thinking and Complex Problem Solving

These intellectual skills give rise to cognitive flexibility which will be helpful in solving all the myriad of different projects they shall have to execute. As we are settling into the fourth industrial revolution, some old jobs will go obsolete and newer jobs will take their place and become widespread. The digital revolution is growing. Complex problem solving goes hand in hand with academic prowess. The focus should not be on rote learning but on understanding basic concepts and their application in real life. Students should be thoroughly informed on recent technological developments and their applications. 

Chrysalis High group of schools has programs such as PUPA, STE(a)M, CHAMPS and CHISEL which gives students the avenue for all-round development. The STE(a)M program teaches coding, programming, and robotics. Not only does this provide tips for academic success in high school but it also prepares students for various future jobs. The future which might be dominated and driven by AI (artificial intelligence) and robotics, students can master these fields right from school level and develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

       2.Social Skills

Social skills include leadership skills, communication, and speaking skills. These skills help to hold dialogues with diplomatic prowess. Good leaders can coordinate with a lot of different professional teams by actively listening. Other important social skills involve negotiation skills coupled with high emotional intelligence. Students can face lots of challenges in the workplace and beyond it. Solving them requires the formation of meaningful connections within professional and personal settings. Emotional intelligence helps people assess a particular situation and its effects on the people involved. This, in turn, helps to come up with diplomatic solutions to complex problems. Chrysalis High pays a lot of attention to teacher-student and student-student relationships. We encourage meaningful interactions that are beneficial for all parties involved. We host debate competitions, quizzes and concentrate on enhancing every student’s language, diction, and communication skills.

3.Financial Skills

Being financially stable is one of the skills students will need no matter what their future field of work is. At Chrysalis High we conduct workshops to make students understand the importance of managing personal finances and saving money from a young age. We encourage parents to give their children small budgets when they go shopping to see how efficiently they can manage money. Another good way to encourage financial awareness is to open minor accounts in banks to help children understand how banks work. As they grow up they can be taught about investments and pension schemes. This skill will help students be financially independent and will give them the knowledge to build a financial backbone for rainy days. 

4.Creativity

Creativity is knowledge in action. In this constantly changing world, this can be the most important survival skills required to be successful in the real world. Intellectual exercises help in developing creativity. Letting students explore and discover their preferred mode of expression is of the utmost importance to the team at Chrysalis High. Creativity can be intellectually or artistically driven and our teachers concentrate on every student’s special qualities. With the advent of new technological developments workers have to be very creative to be able to reap maximum benefits from the world. 

We hope this article helped students and parents to understand how to survive in the future. To know more about Chrysalis High group of schools visit our website.
