Schola Elementary Enrichment Classes

Schola will offer five Elementary Enrichment Classes for 2012/2013. These classes are designed to provide classroom learning experiences for students in grades four through six by supplementing their studies at home.

  • Multi-level: Schola Elementary Enrichment Classes are appropriate for grades four through six, so siblings can enroll in the same class.
  • Repeatable: Schola Elementary Enrichment Classes include individual practice or projects that students can benefit from each time they take the class.
  • Goal-directed: Schola Elementary Enrichment Classes include participation in a culminating activity including a collection of writings, a play, a science fair, and geography and math bees.
  • Fun!: Schola Elementary Enrichment Classes provide a fun way to explore new topics and practice important skills. Classes meet one hour per week and have one hour or less of homework each week. No grades are issued.

Students who are nine years of age by September first may enroll in one or more of the Elementary Enrichment Classes. Please note that we cannot accommodate elementary students in Schola Study Hall.

  • Writing Workshop: Students practice basic writing skills and participate in "writing workshops" culminating in a "published" collection of student writings.
  • Minimus Latin: Students explore a lively introduction to the Latin language and the culture of Roman Britain culminating in a play performed in Latin for family and friends.
  • Geography Bee / Science Fair: In the fall, students explore world geography in preparation for participation in the National Geographic Geography Bee. In the spring, students explore the scientific method and prepare a science project for participation in a Science Fair.
  • History / Science: Students will explore history and science topics in conjunction with the topics covered in Geography Bee /Science Fair class that meets right before. The classes can be taken together or separately.
  • Math Games: Students practice logical thinking, mental math skills, and quick and accurate execution of math facts in preparation for participation in a Math Bee.
