Expeditionary Learning Schools
Leaders is part of a national network of Expeditionary Learning schools that are based on the educational principles of Outward Bound. Expeditionary Learning schools deliver demanding academics through “learning expeditions”, which are hands-on, real-world projects that meet state and district standards. These projects inspire students to solve actual problems through original research and with the help of experts, who guide the process. They also provide intensive and individualized support in the development of student character and good citizenship, and in the building of a positive school culture. More about Expeditionary Learning can be found at www.elschools.org.
