The alternative education program at Kamaruka, proposes to address the social/emotional difficulties, as well as the academic and behavioral challenges, often exhibited by the students enrolled. Some students return to a mainstream setting after a year or two at Kamaruka and some students choose to stay on at Kamaruka, before moving on to further education.

Adopting a multi-modal approach, the teachers collaborate with parents, as well as external professionals, to increase on-task behavior, reduce anxiety and aggression, improve wellbeing, as well as behavioral and academic progress.
