Life doesn't come with instructions - but with this program, you can give your students the life skills they need to succeed.
We all know that having good social skills and emotional intelligence is key to success in life. Whether it is in the workplace, family gatherings, or social situations, being able to navigate different personalities and situations with ease can make a huge difference in how we feel and how others perceive us. LifeSmart can help your students do just that. It is a curriculum designed to help students develop social and emotional intelligence skills. This includes everything from how to build and maintain healthy relationships with friends, coworkers, and bosses, to developing realistic expectations in relationships and learning how to read and respond appropriately in social situations.
The program uses a unique teaching model called "Not Smart or LifeSmart," which is designed to help students learn from other people's mistakes and avoid the pain of social rejection that often comes with experiential learning. It focuses not just on social skills, but also on emotional intelligence (EI), which is often just as important, if not more so, in determining success in life. EI refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions, as well as recognize and respond to the emotions of others.
This is crucial in building strong relationships, managing stress, and being successful in a wide range of career fields. By teaching students these skills early on, LifeSmart can help set them up for success in life.
This curriculum is presented in a relaxed, child-friendly format that makes it accessible for even the youngest students.
Interpersonal skills are invaluable in today's society. They can help you create and maintain strong relationships, build trust with others, and succeed in your personal and professional life.
LifeSmart Complete is a training course specifically designed to help students develop these skills. By completing the program's modules, students can improve their empathy, self-awareness, self-control, intimacy discrimination, nonverbal language facility, and social deftness.
The program is broken down into a series of courses that address specific areas of social competency, including job interactions, basic socialization, safety, money, relationships, and more.
JobSmart Job Skills
It is important to maintain good relationships with your coworkers and bosses once you land a job. Nobody wants to be that person in the office who is constantly complaining or causing problems.

Once you have met someone, the PeopleSmart module will teach students how to turn an acquaintance into a friend. This involves learning how to deepen your conversations beyond small talk and finding common interests.

The LifeSmart program by Stanfield Company is designed to transform your students into well-rounded individuals. It provides them with the skills necessary to succeed in life and prepares them for the realities of the real world.
What makes LifeSmart Complete truly unique is its comprehensive, all-in-one approach. Rather than addressing social skills, safety, finances, relationships, and career readiness in isolation, LifeSmart weaves these topics together into a unified curriculum that reflects how these skills interconnect in everyday life. A student who can manage money wisely, navigate workplace dynamics, build healthy relationships, and stay safe in their community is a student who is genuinely prepared for independence.
The program's video modeling approach is at the heart of its effectiveness. Across all five modules, students watch real-life scenarios that demonstrate both ineffective behaviors ("Not Smart") and effective ones ("LifeSmart"). This side-by-side comparison helps students recognize patterns, understand consequences, and internalize positive behaviors — all without the risk of real-world trial and error. Teachers consistently report that this format keeps students engaged, motivated, and eager to discuss what they have learned.
As an educator, you will be proud to see the positive changes the program brings to your students' lives. LifeSmart Complete gives you everything you need to teach the full spectrum of life skills in one powerful package.
This program is included in Stanfield+ — $999/year gives your school access to the full library of 60+ programs with a 30-day free trial.
