The School-wide Enrichment Model (SEM) provides Rye Neck with a flexible blueprint for total district enhancement. The blueprint includes opportunities for an expansion of curriculum and individualized learning in classrooms and through extracurricular experiences at school and in the real world.
Our students are at the heart of all of our enrichment programs.
We continually monitor trends in education to ensure that Rye Neck remains at the cutting-edge of research-based, innovative programming that supports our approach to talent development.
In 2000, Dr.'s Mustich and Ferraro, along with the Board of Education trustees, adopted the School-wide Enrichment Model (SEM). The goal was to build a curricular infrastructure that served as a systemic platform for growing programs that are innovative and provide opportunities for our students to develop their strengths and interests. Since 2000, we have created a K-12 continuum of opportunities, resources, courses, workshops, independent and online learning programs that have helped establish Rye Neck as one of the most progressive school districts in the nation.
The School-wide Enrichment Model's flexible delivery system means that we can adapt to the needs of our students and offer an array of programming inside and outside of our classrooms. Enrichment is integrated into all aspects of classroom learning through the "how" of curriculum presentation.
We live in an era of anytime, anyplace learning. Our children do not see boundaries to learning. As parents and educators, it is our job to guide them to understand the difference between what is worthwhile and enlivening. It is their job to find what is most meaningful to them.
