Inside the classroom, Expeditionary Learning drives an appreciation for education, engages students in their own pathways to learning, and fosters a sense of belonging. All students participate in Crew, which builds relationships and promotes teamwork. Outside the classroom, students can participate in various activities, including podcasting via WDKX, mock trials, field trips, and college visits. ALMS students can also develop their athletic abilities through modified sports programs. Their mascot is the tiger, standing for Togetherness, Integrity, Growth, Excellence, Respect, and Strength. These Tiger traits are celebrated monthly in an assembly, where students are recognized for their accomplishments.
