EMPATHY AND CARING

By |February 25th, 2014|Design Principles|

Learning is fostered best in communities where students' and teachers' ideas are respected and where there is mutual trust.

SERVICE AND COMPASSION

By |February 9th, 2014|Design Principles|

We are crew, not passengers. Students and teachers are strengthened by acts of consequential service to others, and one of an Expeditionary Learning school's primary functions is to prepare students with the attitudes and skills to learn from and be of service.
