We can help you... integrate character development and academic learning
“It's not just academics that make Schoolcraft successful. The students are respectful towards one another, and towards adults, even when they're out of the building doing research or projects in the field. Elderly people have come over to compliment them on their behaviour. Bus drivers love taking them places.”
-Scott Anderson, School Director, Schoolcraft Learning Community, Bemidji, Minnesota
In Expeditionary Learning schools, character development and academic development are equally important. But there are no character development courses as such. Character development is, rather, embedded in how the academic curriculum is taught, the way the school is organized and run, how the faculty members treat one another, and how the culture and values of the school are expressed in its rituals, celebrations and daily practices.
