What Is Back on Track?

The Back on Track program aims to prevent school dropout in three steps.

  1. Cool down
    • Students find themselves in a new, structured environment, putting a stop to the downward spiral.
  2. Reflection
    • The program encourages students to reflect in one-on-one meetings and group workshops.
  3. Commitment
    • The program motivates students to make changes that will have a positive impact on their school environment.
