CanAdventure Education has certified teachers and instructors on staff that can help your child with their academics, either on a short-term basis through our Struggling Teen Journey Program or over a longer-term in our Struggling Teen School Program.

How does this work? There are two approaches that work within our structure:

Struggling Teen Journey Program:
While priority during our Struggling Teen Journey Program focuses on each participant's areas of challenge and personal growth, we do believe that maintaining progress with academics is an important issue for many. CanAdventure Education's certified teachers and instructors are able to provide tutorial time and support in appropriate cases. Academic progress may be achieved by completing homework packages assembled by teachers from your child's school for completion during CanAdventure Education's Struggling Teens Journey Program. In addition, CanAdventure Education's Struggling Teens Journey curriculum meets learning outcomes for many high school level courses including: Physical Education, Social Studies, Environmental Studies, Ecology, Earth Science, Language Arts, Art, and Career and Personal Planning courses. Your child's teachers can forward learning outcomes to our certified teachers, who can then indicate and evaluate which learning outcomes have been met. Past struggling teen participants have often achieved credit for their work at CanAdventure Education by bringing their curriculum books back to school for assessment. We are happy to facilitate this process. Please note that the amount of time dedicated to school-based academics depends on each participant's progression through our Struggling Teen Journey Program curriculum.

Struggling Teen School Program:
CanAdventure Education offers a longer-term Struggling Teen School Program, called the Hero's Quest, as an alternative to boarding schools for troubled teens. The Struggling Teen School Program blends CanAdventure Education's holistic Struggling Teen Journey programming with academic tutorials, community service, leadership training, and family workshops to allow participants to go beyond that which is offered at most boarding schools for troubled teens. Participants in our Struggling Teen School Program must be registered with the South Island Distance Education School (SIDES) or a comparable distance education program in your home region. SIDES is a distributed learning school that allows students to complete their work through correspondence and offers all graduation requirements in the Province of British Columbia. The program is free for youth with a fixed address in BC and also serves out-of-province students for a fee. Most provinces and states have similar programs available to their residents at no cost. CanAdventure Education's certified teachers and instructors work in partnership with distance education schools to ensure smooth and effective delivery of their course packages.
