Program Description
Southeast Journeys academic program is designed to help students with issues such as Asperger's Syndrome and Nonverbal Learning Disorders excel in a learning environment that understands and supports their needs. With small learning groups, an integrated curriculum and knowledgeable staff, students receive the personalized attention and academic structure to reach new academic achievements.
Social skills development is integrated into the Southeast Journeys Program. Small group living offers many teachable moments on cooperative living, age-appropriate communication, and problem-solving. Residential staff lead insight-oriented group discussions to work through daily issues. Students also learn budgeting, scheduling, nutrition, healthy living and personal responsibility.
Southeast Journeys spends several weeks traveling each semester. Each group goes on a one-week Learning Trip and a one-week Wilderness Adventure.
