The Expanded Learning Network
Each part of the network plays a unique role and together, they expand what’s possible.
The Expanded Learning Network is made up of connected entities that each work towards one goal: creating meaningful learning experiences that help students, educators, and communities thrive.
Expanded Learning Academy
Expanded Learning Academy (ELA) is the heart of our student-facing work.
Through afterschool, enrichment, and school-based programming, ELA creates engaging experiences where students feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow. This is where the best part of the day comes to life.
