There are no set terms or semesters.
Openings occur throughout the year when students graduate or leave the program.
Meetings are initially held in students' homes and may move into the community as lessons are developed. New students complete an initial interview covering all aspects of their life experiance. We also assess their math, reading, social, studies and other academic skills. The program is modelled after the Walkabout Curriculum invented by Maurice Gibbons of Vancouver and used in several American public and private school programs designed by Arnie Langberg. The metaphor of the walkabout compares high school to the rite of passage in aboriginal Australia.
