ExpandED Schools partner with experienced community organizations to expand the learning day. These schools restore or expand time for subjects such as science and social studies. They offer arts, movement, small group support and project-based learning activities that require creative and critical thinking. Students get about 35% more learning time than their peers in traditional public schools.
