An Expeditionary Learning School

“Welcome to a school where learning is an expedition!”

About Us



Overview:

Expeditionary Learning is built on ten design principles that reflect the educational values and beliefs of Outward Bound. These principles also reflect the design’s connection to related thinking about teaching, learning, and the culture within the school.

 

The ELS Learning Model:

Expeditionary Learning is a research-based design and teacher development program for comprehensive school improvement that achieves results through:

 

improved instruction and a more professional faculty,

 

·  higher student achievement and engagement, and

 

a positive and productive school

    culture.

 

Schools achieve these results by putting the principles and core practices of Expeditionary Learning into place and working on them! This is enabled by the full faculty's active participation in Expeditionary Learning's multi-year program of professional development. This work happens primarily at the school site, but also at regional and national locations and conferences.
