The Promontory Difference

Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning is a tuition-free, K-8 public charter school built on a simple belief: all children want to learn, and every child is capable of greatness. We don't just teach subjects; we launch expeditions.

Learning Expeditions shape how students learn.
Fieldwork brings learning to life.
Crew shapes who students become.

Together, these signature structures inspire curiosity, cultivate excellence, develop character, and empower students to become active participants in their own education – the Great Thinkers of the 21st century.

RESPECT

Respect is an awareness of another person's feelings, possessions, time, space, and rights, and an ability to adjust our own responses accordingly - in a way which protects and esteems both ourselves and others.

INTEGRITY

Integrity means being true to what we know is right and good. Integrity is at the core of all our values. Without integrity, the other values can never be fully realized.

SERVICE

Service means seeing beyond ourselves as we immerse ourselves in giving something of value to someone else, and is vital to the development of good leaders and citizens.

EXCELLENCE

We believe students and teachers who are challenged, will naturally rise to the high standards expected of them, and will then set their own high expectations.

FAMILY

We believe that the greatest influences in shaping a child's future are the experiences and teachings that happen in the home. As a school, we strive to help the family succeed.

ADVENTURE

Learning through adventure creates an environment where students are required to rise to the challenge, achieving more than they thought possible. Adventure encourages teamwork, courage, craftsmanship, imagination, creativity, perseverance, compassion and respect for nature.

RESPONSIBILITY

Responsibility means doing what needs to be done to take care of ourselves, our families, our friends, and the greater community. Being responsible means that others can rely on us, that we follow through on our promises, and accept the consequences of our actions.
