Do participants earn school credits for doing the wilderness course?
Sorry for being so dumb. I really don't know anything about this.

Think about it for a bit. Consider what school credits are supposed to represent. Seriously, what would they have credits in? Being abused in the desert? Force-marched through the woods 101? Why would a school give educational merit to an activity that doesn't involve education?
Similarly, most "therapeutic boarding schools" aren't legally recognized as schools at all, and their diplomas are about as valuable as ass wipe. No accreditation.
Now I'm curious: Why do you ask? You actually sound like the rarest of rare things on Fornits, a real parent. If you've already asked them I assume you've received the usual song and dance. Why not ask the school? Depending on how informed they are (and how badly they want to pass your kid through their system), they will probably let you know how he can "make up" the credits. Which means he's not getting any there.

They're free to speak here.
The thing is, kids in programs are not free to speak at all, and are coerced while in them and threatened with among other things various punishments and actually getting out to 'work the program'.
Which is not therapy, but rather coercive behavior modification.
Ho hum?

they give one credit, but it's really 1/4redit since it's based on a quarter system, not a semester, of English and one credit for Physical Education for forced hikes.
the English credit is given in Creative Writing since the teens write in their journal daily plus write their life story and a response to the Impact letters.
