ELOB curriculum focuses on 3 Rs: rigorous, relevance, and relationship. Such program has been proved to raise the academic accomplishments of disadvantaged students in the U.S. and other countries.

The goal is to close the gap in science literacy between urban and rural areas as well as advantaged and disadvantaged students. Experiences from this research will be discussed and transferred to other rural and disadvantaged high schools.
