The Launch Years:
Preparing Teens for Life Beyond School
22 APR, WED, 12 - 1 PM SGT
What does it truly mean to be ready for life beyond school?
For many families, the years between 15 and 18 can feel like a countdown to university applications, career decisions, and major milestones. Yet beneath the deadlines and decisions lies something deeper, the steady formation of identity, independence and self-direction.
The Launch Years are not simply about preparing for the next academic step. They are about supporting young people as they discover who they are, what they value, and how they want to contribute to the world.
In this webinar, Gabriella Schubert, an alumna of Middleton International School, Rachael Blacklaws, History and Geography Teacher at EtonHouse International School Orchard, and Sophia Klopp, an EtonHouse International School parent, will explore how parents and schools can partner to guide teenagers through this pivotal transition with confidence and clarity.
Join us to explore:
- What "readiness" really means beyond grades and university offers
- How identity, agency and resilience are shaped during the late teenage years
- The balance between parental guidance and growing independence
- How to support decision-making without taking ownership away from your teen
- Navigating uncertainty, comparison and pressure in a competitive landscape
- Ways to build confidence, adaptability and purpose before life beyond school begins
Grounded in adolescent development, real student journeys and practical strategies, this session invites families to view the final years of school not as a race to the next destination, but as a powerful launchpad into adulthood.
Register now to discover how clarity, confidence and self-understanding form the true foundation for life beyond school.

My main takeaway from the workshop is to try and get to the bottom of the needs of the child during a meltdown. I've also learned ways to get my children to tell me how they are feeling.

Multiple strategies were shared during the workshop with lots of discussions. I learn creative ways to teach my children how to solve their conflicts by themselves and encourage them to express their feeling.
