PHES Enrichment PROGRAM

The 2017-2018 Pearl Harbor Elementary Enrichment Program targets those students in grades 3 - 6 who are identified as Gifted and Talented, Potential Gifted and Talented, or highly motivated.

The STEM-themed Enrichment Program includes the use of technology integration, inquiry-based lessons, engineering design, math common core standards, and project-based learning. In small group settings, students will use a hands-on, investigative approach to learning within a STEM focused, standards-based curriculum not readily provided in the regular grade level curriculum. Students are challenged to reach their full potential and to exceed proficiency in the core content areas. Topics of study may vary depending on students’ specific areas of interest and strength.
