A typical school day is five periods with reading, writing, mathematics, a treatment component (Moral Reconation Therapy ©, Cage Your Rage ©, Criminal Thinking Errors, etc.) and an elective.  Examples of electives are drama, GED test preparation and art.  Basic skills are emphasized.  Failure to complete assignments or participate in class activities is not an option.

Trainees receive a minimum of 5.25 high school credits if they pass all requirements with the opportunity to earn an additional credit if they are chosen for culinary, maintenance, or office skills training.  A special education teacher is on staff to meet identified areas of concern.

Approaching graduation from the Basic Training Camp, special attention is given to the educational setting to which the trainee returns so that they may have the best opportunity for success in the community.
