We feel it is critical for students to continue academics during treatment, rather than taking a break from school altogether. Walkabout has designed a unique academic program that helps the students continue to engage learning skills such as reading, writing, reasoning, problem solving, and collaboration. Students at Walkabout will participate in at least three, structured one-hour learning sessions each week, along with a few assignments to complete on their own
