What to Expect
Over the span of two full school days, attendees will hear from staff, students, and leadership, including Dr. Beresford, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. It is by design that we do not disclose the agenda or schedule for the program. We request attendees be interested in all facets of the district. If you have a limited interest in learning more about one or two departments, please email communications@ccs.k12.in.us with your questions.
Expanded CHS Opportunity
This year, the program includes an additional special session. Alongside the two full days of learning, participants are invited to a special panel with Carmel High School students. Following the panel, there will be a tour of the high school, showcasing the brand-new natatorium, Greyhound Activity Center, and Performing Arts wing.
Who Should Apply?
Expedition is designed for those who are genuinely interested in gaining a deeper understanding of Carmel Clay Schools. Parents, guardians, grandparents, community members, business leaders, and governmental officials are encouraged to apply.
Expedition Application
“Being part of the CCS Expedition group was a very enjoyable experience. Having the opportunity to learn about all of the aspects of the Carmel Clay School system from curriculum, to the safety of our children was very impressive. We can also be very proud of the talented students and staff that make up Carmel Clay Schools and their positive, energetic attitude of excellence. I found the experience very educational. This program has given me even greater confidence in what I feel is one of the best school systems in the country.”

“The Expedition program was insightful in ways that I could not have imagined. From the remarkable methods of team teaching that we observed first hand in our elementary schools to the incredibly talented students, teachers and department leaders we interacted with at Carmel High School, every meeting was one filled with new experiences. Whether you have children the CCS system or are simply interested in learning what our schools do to prepare our young people for the future, Expedition is an eye opening and purposeful opportunity. I would recommend it highly.”
