What Makes Our School Unique?

    Type 1 Enrichment includes field trips, guest speakers, multicultural activities, interest centers and other programs or activities which are keyed to motivating new interests in students and expanding their experiential base.
    Type II Enrichment utilizes shared inquiry and hands on learning to train students in an interest area or in special skills needed for future exploration.
    Type III Enrichment is individual, contract-based research and project work based upon student interests and facilitated by the in-house Encore teacher.
