Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning

Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning, located in Perry, Utah, is a public charter school that distinguishes itself through the EL Education model (formerly known as Expeditionary Learning). This approach emphasizes "learning by doing," integrating rigorous academic standards with hands-on, project-based experiences. Rather than relying solely on traditional classroom instruction, the school encourages students to engage in long-term "expeditions"—in-depth investigations into complex topics that often connect to real-world issues, community service, and environmental stewardship.

The school’s philosophy centers on the belief that students thrive when their learning is purposeful and connected to their surroundings. By fostering a culture of high expectations, character development, and craftsmanship, Promontory aims to cultivate both academic excellence and active, responsible citizenship. Its curriculum is designed to challenge students to take ownership of their education, encouraging them to produce high-quality work that has value beyond the classroom walls, thereby preparing them for future success in both college and their local communities.
