We are a nationally recognized Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound (ELOB) public middle school in Maine. I am an expedition teacher for grades 6,7 & 8. Our students learn by participating in 10 week learning expeditions that involve multi-disciplinary project based learning. Our learning expeditions combine strong community connections, service learning, fieldwork and work with experts. We have exceptional results, and receive hundreds of visitors every year. Our students largely come from low income households, and many are refugees from crises around the world. We have an ongoing expeditionary project called Seeds of Culture wherein we explore the cultural aspects of food, and address food insecurity issues. We also study climate, biomes, and plant and soil biology in this expedition. We have four gardens and two apple trees at this point and want to expand our capacity to grow our own food.
