Centennial, A School for Expeditionary Learning, is a proud recipient of the EL Education School Credential in recognition of the deep implementation of the EL Education School Model and remarkable student achievement results. Our students have demonstrated mastery across the three dimensions of student achievement: mastery of knowledge and skills, character, and high-quality student work. The Credential acknowledges our work to nurture students’ social, emotional, and academic development, ensuring that every student can contribute their unique genius to the world. For more information about the School Credential and this year’s cohort, view EL Education’s announcement.
The EL Education model (former Expeditionary Learning) nurtures critical thinking, employs inquiry and real-life problem solving, sets high social and academic expectations, encourages perseverance, and utilizes opportunities which support cooperation and trust.
Centennial is very proud to say that we were the first neighborhood school in DPS to partner with EL Education!
