Dive Into Your Learning
Through four 8-week expeditions that allow you to discover a range of related ideas and concepts.
Middle school scholars will grapple with questions, collaborate on projects, and create exhibitions of learning throughout their 8-week interdisciplinary expeditions of study. Each expedition will include field work, guest lecturers, and feedback and reflection loops. We believe true learning is a process, not an end game. One City uses the Expeditionary Learning framework to guide our expeditions, with a focus on character, high quality work, and mastery of knowledge and skills.
Our first sixth grade expedition will tackle the question, “How do stories explain the world around us and convey the values of a culture?” The founding sixth grade team of teachers is eagerly developing this expedition and adding subject-specific content and standards to give our scholars the resources to fully flesh out an answer.
