About Our Courses

The School of Preparedness is built around two foundational courses: TEACHERS FIRST and KIDS FIRST — self-paced, video-based training programs designed to empower both school staff and kids with the skills to survive and respond confidently in the face of danger. Each course stands strong on its own, offering age-appropriate, real-world strategies for those who need to act fast when every second counts. Together, they form a unified approach to school safety — ensuring that both adults and children are trained with the same core concepts, language, and actions. Whether you're an individual seeking personal readiness or a school leader looking to create consistency across your entire campus, our programs are designed to deliver clarity, confidence, and real-life results—without fear, confusion, or complexity.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or school administrator — the time to prepare is now. Don’t wait for a crisis to realize you weren’t ready — take the first step toward a safer, more prepared future.
