Support Expeditionary Learning Schools

Teachers in our partner schools say we give them the professional development that makes them better teachers. But many of the schools these teachers teach in are located in places where funding for education is stretched to the limit. These schools can pay only a part of the cost of participating in the Expeditionary Learning program. To ensure that children in these schools receive the high quality, effective education they deserve, we help schools make up the difference between what they can pay and what the Expeditionary Learning program actually costs.

We turn to corporations, foundations, and individuals to help us, and they do. We welcome gifts of any size; all contributions go directly toward improving teaching and learning in Expeditionary Learning schools.

The children were completely invested in the product and knew that their work would transcend the walls of our school and even our community. This crew was reaching out to share a newfound knowledge and passion for their world.”
