Walkabout’s four key assumptions serve as the guiding principles behind the Walkabout experience and philosophy.
NO ONE HAS MORE POWER IN YOUR LIFE THAN YOU.
Confidence and positive perspective lead students to
become more independent and accountable.
DISAPPOINTMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AND LEARN
Problem solving, resilience and persistence are critical skills for a successful life.
ATTITUDE IS CRITICAL TO SUCCESS
We help students understand that they are the arbiters of meaning and agency in their own lives.
OUR MISSION
The Walkabout Education Foundation is reinventing the American high school by creating learning environments where all students—regardless of background—develop the skills, direction, and confidence to be successful in college, career and community.
