Winnequah Middle School is located in Monona, WI and has a student population of approximately 700 students in grades six through eight.  It serves the communities of Cottage Grove and Monona.  The school is located next to Winnequah Park which is accentuated by beautiful lagoons and rolling grounds bordered with trees.  The community swimming pool, public library, community building, and city office building are all located within a three minute walk of the school.

In 1999, Winnequah received a major, three year, grant enabling it to join the network of demonstration schools based on the philosophy of Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound (ELOB for short) which emphasizes experiential learning and involvement of students and staff members in their communities while meeting state educational standards. Due to the success of this program, it continues on during the 2007-08 school year.

More information and documentation about this exciting approach to learning can be found by visiting  Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound's web site.
