The expeditionary learning model is all about being inspired and impassioned to learn. Students show a much higher level of comprehension and long-term retention when they do things, rather than just see things - with each new experience, our students learn and grow! Regular expeditions, thematic curriculum, and experiential lesson plans help us to cultivate a school-wide culture where students have a love for learning.

 

Due to the current covid19 pandemic, SAGE will continue to expeditions but virtually. These virtual expeditions will include tours of famous world museums, animal studies at the zoo, live theater productions and music concerts.

Students go on expeditions every month!
