PARENTING TIPS
The relationship between parents and their children is special, and progresses through each phase of their lives. Parenting is an education in itself, and School Life strives to bring advice to new and old parents on topics ranging from health to behaviour to education. From pre-kindergarten to high school graduates and beyond, School Life brings you expert advice from across the country to answer some of your most common questions: How to cope with sending your youngster to school on his or her first day, saying goodbye to your teenagers for months at a time as they study abroad and much more.  

FINANCING YOUR EDUCATION
Investing in your child’s education is one of the most important financial processes you will undertake as a parent. Featuring advice from industry experts, School Life will walk you through every step of the financing process from RESPs to government funding programs, province-by-province.

With an in-depth series on the various scholarship opportunities offered by universities, School Life also guides students along every step of the scholarship application process, including which variety to apply to (athletic, academic, needs-based, et cetera), and how to construct the applications universities won’t be able to refuse.
