Doulos Discovery School is one of only two Christian expeditionary learning model schools in the world, and the only one outside the United States. 

Getting kids outside of the classroom and out of the box to experience learning in a revolutionary way is a large component of our educational philosophy at Doulos.

“Expeditionary Learning is committed to creating classrooms where teachers can fulfill their highest aspirations and where students can achieve more than they think possible.”

Purpose & Clarity

Doulos Discovery School is committed not only to helping students learn core content, but also to teaching them how to apply their knowledge. Expeditionary learning is an approach which helps students reach beyond the classroom to see how their learning can tangibly impact the world. The expeditionary process is a targeted learning system which allows our teachers to direct student learning each day with purpose and clarity.

Each expedition includes focused teaching around a central theme, instruction from experts, fieldwork for application, biblical integration and a final product to showcase student work. An expedition night event occurs at the end of each semester to highlight student learning for parents and the community.

Expeditionary learning is a key component to drive our mission in creating servant leaders who are ready to impact their school, their community and the world.
