Thanks for helping to celebrate our 15th Anniversary last week. Explorations continues to grow and improve with your support!

Explorations Academy is an experientially-based secondary school established in 1995. Explorations serves capable young people in grades 8-12 seeking an education for the 21st Century that meaningfully addresses real-world issues. What makes Explorations unique is our focus on context: The context of the school environment, the context of our local area and region, and the context of global systems are each directly incorporated into our curriculum. In this way we are educating young people for our contemporary changing world. Explorations has been fully accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission since 1998, and as of 2010, is a candidate member of the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools.

Our mission is to develop experiential learning programs which encourage self-awareness and critical thinking, nurture healthy relationships and community, and foster personal and academic excellence. Our vision is to cultivate diverse communities of healthy, creative, and engaged learners and leaders, working toward a socially just and ecologically balanced world.

Location and Size
Explorations Academy is located in downtown Bellingham, Washington, a city of approximately 75,000. We run three academic terms from September to June, and offer optional summer, intersession, and independent study courses. Our student population is approximately 26 and we have four full-time and six part-time staff. Our curricular program is based on interdisciplinary clusters of courses which follow a common theme, with class sizes typically of ten to twelve.

Our facility is located along the banks of Whatcom Creek, and comprises about 3000 square feet of classrooms, library, offices and project areas. However, much of an Explorations Academy education takes place outside our building; students average about one day per week on field outings, including local, regional, and international expeditions.
