Students are not held back by other teens in the class, lesson plans, teachers' schedules, course offerings, or class availability. The students are tutored by a teacher and in some cases, it is possible to complete courses on an accelerated basis. Each student is assessed upon admission and then assisted in designing their specific course of study. High standards exist. Inappropriate behavior is confronted, consequented and redirected.
Appropriate behavior is reinforced and rewarded.
A merit system is used requiring each teen to earn their status and privileges through a standard program using a level system. On and off campus activities provide a proper balance of recreation, exercise, learning and social opportunities. Initially, all activities are on grounds. Jamaica is well suited for these types of experiences. Students participate in a series of seminars designed specifically for Tranquility Bay.
