The research objectives are to understand the portrayal of students' life skills education at SMP Negeri 3 Cikarang Utara and SMPIT Aqidah, and to identify the differences in life skills scores between students participating in sports and non-sports extracurricular activities in both public and private schools. This study employs a descriptive-causal method with a sample of 35 students (Group A) and 35 students (Group B) from SMPN 3 Cikarang Utara, and 49 students (Group C) and 49 students (Group D) from SMPIT Aqidah. Data collection techniques involve using questionnaires, followed by data analysis through t-test to determine the differences. The findings reveal that the average score for Group A is 141.25 (81%), categorized as strong life skills. Group B averages 136.80 (76%), also categorized as strong. Group C averages 201.1 (84%), demonstrating strong life skills, while Group D averages 181.93 (74%), similarly categorized as strong.
