Coming Soon: Showcase of Learning

Learning expeditions and case studies are the signature of PCAs curricular structure. Each year students participate in long term, in depth studies that offer real world connections and inspire students toward higher levels of academic achievement. Learning expeditions involve students in original research, critical thinking, and problem solving. In addition, they build character and citizenship along with academic skills. All learning expeditions explicitly focus on building literacy skills particularly in reading and writing nonfiction texts and writing from evidence. Learning expeditions are typically 6-12 weeks in duration, although sometimes longer.
