Coaching and professional development for teachers and school leaders in the implementation of EL Education, a nationally-recognized school-wide model with its roots in Outward Bound.Our network schools serve a predominantly high-needs student population. Each year nearly all of our graduates are accepted to college. This past year, our Black and Latinx students graduated at rates 12 and 14 points higher than their peers citywide, respectively, and our students with disabilities graduated at a rate 27 points higher than their counterparts. Our overall graduation rates regularly surpass the city average by 10+ percentage points, and we have achieved particularly impressive results among underserved subgroups. Our results are strong thanks to our robust and personalized professional development and coaching model, our transformative field programming, our focus on community and character building, and our understanding and support of students as individuals to unlock potential. Serving more than 200,000 students, we redefine what educational excellence looks like in New York City public schools. To further extend our impact, we also offer Adventure & Team Building programs to young people and professional learning services to NYC public schools interested in adopting specific Outward Bound practices. Our uniquely powerful program combines the Outward Bound approach with the principles of EL (Expeditionary Learning), joining together demanding, engaging learning with an emphasis on community and character. We operate a network of schools in partnership with the NYC Department of Education.
