History

Mission

Expeditionary Learning is a design for school reform that challenges K-12 students to meet rigorous academic and character standards. Through professional development and technical assistance, we collaborate with the entire school staff to make schools safe, engaging communities where all students are expected to achieve more than they thought possible. A New American Schools design for comprehensive school improvement, Expeditionary Learning is built around 10 design principles and five core practices that guide the teaching and learning in our schools.

Expeditionary Learning extends the experience of Outward Bound, an adventure and service-based education program founded by educator Kurt Hahn, into public school. Just as on wilderness courses, students in Expeditionary Learning schools learn to work together in teams, rise to seemingly impossible challenges, and use their knowledge in service to the community.
