The Christa McAuliffe Charter School is a credentialed EL Education middle school serving about 400 students in grades 6-8, located in Framingham, Massachusetts. The school emphasizes an expeditionary learning approach that combines hands-on curriculum, inquiry and project-based activities, and a focus on character growth, teamwork, and student ownership of learning. Its mission centers on developing both academic achievement and personal development within a diverse student body, guided by adults who balance challenge with support. Part of a national network, EL Education, the school participates in a model that aims to motivate students, involve teachers in new levels of focus, and foster leadership of learning among students and staff. Recent developments include the launch of a hybrid model in early 2021, reflecting the school’s adaptation to changing instructional needs. The institution is based in Framingham, within the broader Massachusetts education landscape.
