Enrichment
This program meets the needs of students who are high achievers and/or identified as gifted. The goal of the program is to provide these students with opportunities to develop divergent thinking skills, and knowledge beyond the standard curriculum. The enrichment program is offered to students in grades three through eight, who have demonstrated above-average abilities, opportunities to work with other students at their same ability level and explore topics in depth of interest to them. The criteria for inviting students to participate in the enrichment programs were developed by the administration with input from the Weiss School for Gifted Students and Brevard County. The criteria are based on standardized test scores, report card grades, checklists, and teacher recommendations.
