AMANA ACADEMY CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF INNOVATION, CHARACTER, AND ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
Amana Academy, a nationally recognized public charter school, is proud to celebrate its 20th anniversary this school year. Since opening its doors in 2005, Amana has been at the forefront of educational innovation, blending academic rigor with character development, environmental stewardship, and a focus on community engagement.
Rooted in the EL Education model (formerly Expeditionary Learning), Amana Academy places students at the center of meaningful, project-based learning. EL Education’s approach emphasizes deeper learning, student ownership, and high achievement through real-world expeditions that integrate core content with hands-on experiences and service learning. This model has helped Amana students grow into confident changemakers with the knowledge and skills to make a difference.
