ExpandED Schools: A New Way to Increase Kids’ Learning Time & Opportunity

All kids deserve a well-rounded education that helps them grow into adults who can innovate, create and think for a living. But students with the greatest needs typically have the fewest chances to develop their talents and 21st century skills when the traditional school day ends at 3 PM.

ExpandED Schools are dedicated to reversing that inequality. By giving kids in public elementary and middle schools more time and a wider range of opportunities to learn, we offer a promising way for educators and communities to reinvent schools that are struggling to fully deliver on the promise of public education. We lift the limits off the outdated school calendar. We promise students a more individualized, balanced and hands-on education and a fighting chance to succeed no matter where they begin.
