The Voice
Here we go as we walk down the long paved road with nothing except to see and hear the puff of exhaust coming from the cars on the highway. Along we go on the road which is soon to go back, how it was before a flash from the past. The travelers will return some day and then it's back to the present and future only to see what's come. And to learn what's coming. Yet we just keep waiting?

The Georgia Enrichment Team: Nancy Volatile-Wood, MJ Mitiguy and Nancy Mildrum work with other staff members and students in our school to provide as many enrichment opportunities as possible for as many students as possible.
 Our services range from large group events such as chess tournaments and the ever popular seventh and eighth grade Quiz Bowl, to individual support for eager young mathematicians, writers, researchers and builders. The individual work produced in enrichment varies widely and is always unique. Currently one student is investigating early childhood psychology, another is researching the life of Ethan Allen in order to write a play based on Ethan's childhood, and several other projects are in process. We also provide small group send out classes, whole class instruction and teacher and parent consultations and collaboration.
 Standing Rhombicosidodecahedron
By Dylan DB grade 6-
We specialize in classes that are divergent in nature and require creative productivity, for example any student in grades five and six can sign up for a 6 class independent study series. In this class the young investigater has the opportunity to do research in his or her area of interest and then create an original product using their knowledge of their topic. The work is then presented at an Independent Study Fair.
Log Cabin Model - By Nick H. Grade 6  Enrichment classes are designed and implemented with respect for each learner as an individual. Our goal is to help our students develop understanding of themselves and the joy of learning, while executing focused efforts in analysis, synthesis and application of knowledge.
