Kansas City Academy has been chosen to participate in the prestigious Expeditionary Learning (EL) Schools Outward Bound program, a nationwide network of grade K-12 schools.

Expeditionary Learning is active and individualized, makes use of teams and group support, and is connected to the real world. KCA is the only private EL school in the Kansas City area. We received a five-year matching grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation to help us become a high-performing Expeditionary Learning School.

The EL design focuses on teaching in an engaging way. Faculty receive intensive professional development that emphasizes curriculum, best teaching practices and building a strong school culture.

EL will support and enhance "the KCA way" of learning as it combines rigorous academic content with active teaching and community service, along with real-world projects called learning expeditions.
