Trainer, Life Skills

Join us in Transforming Lives Together!

Pathlight School is the first autism-focused school in Singapore to offer the national curriculum together with life readiness skills. It caters to students on the autism spectrum with related conditions, aged 7 to 18 years, who are cognitively able to access national curriculum but require additional support such as smaller class sizes, special accommodations and teaching staff trained in autism.

The Life Skills Team delivers high-quality life skills education through strategic curriculum development, effective program implementation, and seamless coordination. Through customized lessons and immersive learning experiences, our Life Skills Trainers equip students with critical skills for daily life, personal safety, and well-being. This role goes beyond the classroom, involving hands-on, real-world practice to ensure students can confidently apply life skills in various environments.
