Why Should You Attend West Jefferson Elementary?

Expeditionary Learning (EL) Education’s vision believes when students and teachers are engaged in work that is challenging, adventurous and meaningful, learning and achievement flourish.

Its mission is to create classrooms where teachers can fulfill their highest aspirations, and students achieve more than they think possible, becoming active contributors to building a better world.

When students have completed their academic career and entered adult life, they’ll be judged not by performance on basic skills tests — but rather, by the quality of their work and the quality of their character. This premise serves as the foundation for EL Education’s overarching vision of increasing student engagement and elevating and expanding student achievement.
