Learning Expeditions are the signature Expeditionary Learning curricular structure. (Grades K-8)
Learning Expeditions make standards come alive for students. These long-term, in-depth studies offer real-world connections that inspire students toward higher levels of academic achievement.
Learning expeditions involve students in original research, critical thinking, and problem solving, while build character and academic skills. All learning expeditions explicitly focus on building literacy skills, particularly in reading and writing informational text and writing from evidence.
Learning Expeditions at Entheos Academy are cross-curricular, meaning that a variety of subjects connect to the learning. They can include all subject areas such as reading, writing, science, art, and music.
Expeditions are created through a collaborative teacher process, and include elements such as fieldwork, service, connection with experts, and a high quality final product.

Some grades and teachers use the EL Education, Language Arts Modules as a basis for creating their learning expeditions.
