Expedition is really an amazing school. My youngest started in kindergarten and is now in the upper school, my oldest has one more year until leaving for high school. The teachers are fantastic and they go above and beyond, the administrators work tirelessly to help facilitate a positive learning environment. My kids love the small community, and the focus on STEM with small groups and project based learning. I don’t know how they were able to get us all through covid so gracefully but they completely revamped the system to allow for distanced learning. The parent group is super involved, as volunteer work is part of the requirements. Some drawbacks for many are no cafeteria (you pack or buy a lunch and snack everyday) and no transportation/ bus (you drop off and pickup kids everyday yourself ). Expedition is free to attend, but part of a lottery system. If one of your kids gets in, then your other kids have priority as space opens. We love Expedition!
Overall, the school is very good at making the children self-aware and aware of the feelings of others. School spirit is apparent in the elementary school. Self-sufficiency and self-regulation is promoted in the middle school. Parent involvement is excellent. However, experience and communication from two different partner teachers two years in a row has not been optimal. Communication from primary teacher is good. Communication from partner teachers has been poor and has occurred only when there was regression noted on the report card. Communication could be improved by letting parents know of accomplishments or failures prior to report cards.
Excellent project based school. Year round learning. Children are frequently taught in nature and incorporate walking field trips into many of the lessons. The most wonderful teachers and administration that a parent could ever hope for. Kind, encouraging, intentional and child-centered learning. Muti-grade classrooms allow for mentoring (1/2, 3/4 etc.) for kids to learn at their own pace. Excellent specials teachers!: Art, Music, PE and Spanish. Wednesdays are half day, for teacher planning and Clubs are offered. Nestled in historic Hillsborough near Riverwalk and Goldpark. Wonderful and active parent involvement through the Parent Association (TESCA).
