EXPLORE AUSTIN ACCEPTS 6TH GRADE BOYS AND GIRLS, AND MAKES A SIX-YEAR COMMITMENT TO HELP THEM DEVELOP THE SKILLS, TOOLS, AND HABITS THEY WILL NEED TO BECOME EFFECTIVE LEADERS. THROUGH A COMBINATION OF MENTORING AND OUTDOOR ADVENTURES, EXPLORE AUSTIN HAS CREATED A SIX-YEAR CURRICULUM AROUND ITS ACES FRAMEWORK. OUR CURRICULUM IS BUILT UPON THE IDEA THAT BY TAKING ITS COMMITTED EXPLORES, PLACING THEM IN A UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT, AND GIVING THEM PROBLEM-SOLVING TASKS AND CHALLENGES, EXPLORERS WILL DEVELOP THE CHARACTER TRAITS NECESSARY TO BE EFFECTIVE LEADERS.
