Elementary Enrichment
Enrichment Academy
The Enrichment Academy holds classes twice a year, once in the spring spanning three consecutive Saturdays, and in the summer during the first full week of August. Classes are held in various area locations such as The College of Wooster, OSU/ATI, and Wayne College Campuses as well as Wayne Center for the Arts. Students in Grades 3 - 8 choose from a variety of classes covering a wide spectrum of study. The purpose of the Enrichment Academy is to provide learning experiences that nurture special interests and/or talents to high-ability students. It is designed to provide students with exploratory classes and activities which challenge potential, introduce specialized fields of knowledge, and supplement the present school experience. These classes are taught by teachers from area schools who design exciting and challenging curriculum in many diverse areas such as robotics, ecology, science experiments, and various forms of art, math, language arts, and social studies. Students have an opportunity to work with peers from other schools that share these same interests.
Class size is small to provide an individualized program. Parents, teachers and students evaluate the program and this feedback provides information for a quality program.
Summer Enrichment and Exploration Program(s)
Summer Enrichment and Exploration opportunities will be provided for students in grades 1-8. These offerings replace the prior summer enrichment programs and primary day camps. Students can explore a variety of topics in academic areas such as science, math, language arts, and visual arts. Student engagement will promote creative thinking, teamwork, and problem solving.
