ED Corps is all about relationships. Our dedicated faculty and staff assist each student to develop a path to graduation with customized class schedules that leverage the individual’s learning style. 

“We have learned that many students respond well to learning with a hands-on approach. We spend about a third of our time outdoors, exploring environmental restoration and conservation projects, learning conservation skills, and mitigating potential disasters. These activities bring the relevance of academics into real life experiences” comments Elinor Mount-Simmons, veteran educator and ED Corps Administrator.
