EXPO is a vibrant school that balances an extraordinary range of resources with an emphasis on the individual needs of all of our students. Since 1990, EXPO has been a community—a place where students, educators, and parents strive to give children the tools and the skills to become citizens of the world, exploring, solving problems together, and growing into active, engaged members of their communities. EXPO is alive with ideas, serious inquiry, friendship and growth—it is truly a happy place where children are cherished.
