Marsh Avenue Expeditionary Learning School is a small 6th-8th grade middle school located on the new Jerome Parker Education Campus in Staten Island. We were founded with the understanding that students have diverse learning needs and styles, and are committed to providing a learning environment which is responsive to these needs. We celebrate and support the variety of intelligences that all students bring to the classroom, and the goal of our dedicated faculty is to maximize potential for all through differentiated instruction.
As a member of New York City Outward Bound’s network of Expeditionary Learning schools, Marsh Avenue places equal emphasis on character, community and academics. Our caring and dedicated team of teachers delivers hands-on, project-based instruction in a small setting alongside the exploration, fieldwork, and public presentations of learning that Expeditionary Learning is nationally known for. We also provide Outward Bound adventure and discovery to all students for the purpose of building community, developing character, and instilling in all children the knowledge that they can achieve far more than they ever thought possible.
