Enrichment (HAL) Programs

Kindergarten through 3^rd Grade

Children in kindergarten through third grade are served primarily in the regular classroom with consulting services provided to the classroom teacher by the building HAL facilitators. Additional enrichment is provided when needed.

4^th and 5^th Grade

Students who have been identified for the Enrichment (HAL) program have the opportunity to participate in various activities designed to challenge their abilities. Students have the opportunity to experience enrichment of learning through literature groups, math and logic activities, field trips, and small group seminars on topics developed from student interest or as an extension of the general education curriculum. Academic competitions are conducted in cooperation with grade level teachers.

Middle School

The goal of the middle school Enrichment (HAL) program is to recognize each student’s unique characteristics and create expanded learning experiences for each student. The program provides appropriately challenging educational experiences that will encourage students to learn, to challenge themselves, and to contribute positively to society. Working together with the classroom teachers, we provide various forms of services to identified students: classroom differentiation, classroom collaboration, seminars/independent studies, and competitions.

High School

At the high school level, students are invited to participate in honors classes offered by the English and Mathematics departments. Students in grades 10 through 12 have the opportunity to enroll in college level Advanced Placement classes. Academic competitions that challenge and enrich individual areas of talent are available as well.

At all levels, classroom teachers, building coordinators, and other specialists strive to assess student potential and design options to enhance students’ learning.
