Project Seek is an enrichment opportunity for students in Grades 1-7 from the participating SCRED (St.Croix River Education District) schools.
This program is designed for high potential and talented students to enhance the regular school-year curriculum. It is a space intended for these students to come together, think, work, and create in courses designed just for them.
Students who are invited to attend Project SEEK are students who demonstrate exemplary behavior, are able to interact independently, be involved in a group setting, enjoy intense study, are driven to complete projects, and love a challenge!
Project SEEK features classes designed by instructors for this exciting experience. These activity-oriented classes offer in-depth explorations in a number of interdisciplinary areas. Each class is limited to 15 or fewer students keeping student/teacher ratios low for a more conducive learning experience.
If your student has been invited to participate, watch your email for the course and registration catalog. It will be released soon. If you have any questions,please reach out to Joanne Blake.
