    ENA Learning Model 

    Eagle’s Nest Academy is proud to become an Expeditionary Learning school, following the EL Education learning model which is cultivated by ten design principles:

    1. THE PRIMACY OF SELF-DISCOVERY – Learning happens best with emotion, challenge, and requisite support
    2. THE POSSESSION OF WONDERFUL IDEAS – Teaching in Expeditionary Learning schools fosters curiousity about the world
    3. THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR LEARNING – Learning is both a personal process of discovery and a social activity
    4. EMPATHY AND CARING – Learning is fostered best in communities where students’ and teachers’ ideas are respected and where there is mutual trust
    5. SUCCESS AND FAILURE – All students need to be successful if they are to build the confidence and capacity to to take risks and meet increasingly difficult challenges
    6. COLLABORATION AND COMPETITION – Individual development and group development are integrated so that the value of friendship, trust, and group action is clear
    7. DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION – Both diversity and inclusion increase the richness of ideas, creative power, problem-solving ability, and effect
    8. THE NATURAL WORLD – A direct and respectful relationship with the natural world refreshes the human spirit and reaches the important ideas of recurring cycles of cause and effect
    9. SOLITUDE AND REFLECTION – Students and teachers need time alone to explore their own thoughts, make their own connections, and create their own ideas
    10. SERVICE AND COMPASSION – Students and teachers are strengthened by acts of consequential service to others
