Expeditionary Learning Academy at Moylan School (ELAMS) teaches students to be “Crew, Not Passengers” by building a scholastic community that values academic achievement, high-quality student work, and character. Students engage in crew lessons tied to our Compass for Learners that cultivate a mindset of “Courtesy, Craftsmanship, Resilience, and Responsibility” so that students value community responsibility and take pride in academic achievement and work.

As an EL Education-themed school, students engage in a rigorous curriculum and participate in learning expeditions, field work, and service learning. Learning is based on a project-based research approach, where critical thinking and problem-solving skills are mastered. We partner with parents to ensure the academic success of their child through Student-Led Conferences, where students have an opportunity to share and explain their learning, and set future goals with parents and teachers.

At Moylan School, we foster students’ joy of learning and passion for helping others in order to develop thinkers and leaders who have the courage to take academic risks that strengthen character and positively contribute to the community.

• Students engage in in-depth learning “Expeditions” that integrate reading, writing, and service learning.

• Weekly CREW and Community meetings support the development of the whole child.

• Our Student-Led Conferences occur three times per year.

• Teachers receive weekly hands-on professional development focused on the EL Education model, which is infused directly into the classroom.

• Our school emphasizes teamwork, collaboration, and community service.
