Expeditions & Fieldwork

 

At the heart of all Expeditionary Learning Schools, including The Greene School, are Learning Expeditions which combine several elements: guiding questions, kickoff experiences, projects, fieldwork, experts, service learning, and a culminating event that features student work.

 

As the core experience within the academic program, Expeditions explore content and skills within at least two major disciplines. We undertake an in-depth examination of a compelling topic using case studies and investigations. Expeditions include a student completed “product” that has value to an external audience. One such project on local water quality led to a presentation to city council on student findings, implications for the community, and recommendations for resolving pressing issues.
