It is the mission of the VCS to implement Expeditionary Learning Schools – Outward Bound (ELS), an innovative, research-based curriculum to prepare students in the Greater Vallejo area in grades K-8 to become educated people of the 21st century. Such individuals are literate, knowledgeable, principled, competent, self-motivated and committed to lifelong learning. Students will be stewards of the earth and its resources; they will be environmentally aware and understand the interconnectedness of all living things and our global environment.
