What is Expedition Academy?
Expedition Academy is a comprehensive, year-long program developed by Adventure Ready NW for qualified students seeking to foster independence in adventure-based programs, daily life, and beyond. With breaks between terms and over the summer, this immersive curriculum focuses on creating a rule of life, self-understanding, and healthy habits related to technology, food, and fitness.
This summer capstone experience is a celebration of all that our students have learned and accomplished—and the adventure of a lifetime.
