Transforming Schools, Changing Lives
About us
NYC Outward Bound Schools transforms schools and changes lives, with a focus on serving students from historically underserved communities. We partner with public schools to help them deliver demanding and engaging academics, and build positive and supportive school cultures, generating significant achievement gains for thousands of NYC students each year. Our educational approach and strategies are implemented school-wide in our Network Schools which use the EL Education model, emphasize college access and preparation, and leverage our leadership and wilderness programming. We also broaden our impact by bringing our approach and proven best practices to students and teachers beyond our network through our Adventure & Team Building programs and Select Strategies professional learning services. Founded in 1987, NYC Outward Bound Schools was the first independent urban Outward Bound organization in the United States. Over more than 30 years, we have helped to bring out the best in more than 100,000 students, preparing them for success in college, careers, and citizenship.

We are so proud of our Launch Expeditionary Learning Charter School students, who each year, study the trends of gun violence in their community and end the unit with a walkout to raise awareness. This year, it earned the attention of The New York Times:

We were thrilled to host NYC Council Member Rita Joseph, Chair of the Committee on Education, at yesterday's final #CrewInitiative convening of the 2023-24 school year. Council Member Joseph listened in on presentations and spoke to the group of public schools educators who lead #Crew implementation at their schools across the city. THANK YOU for championing this work! “I am not a former educator, I am a forever educator,” said Council Member Joseph. “I sit and I listen to every single young person and educator who comes before me to tell me what their story is, and where I should be putting this budget. So I'm happy to be here, honored to be in your presence. Thank you for all that you do every single day, no matter how hard it is, we show up.”
