Enrichment is considered to be one aspect of programming on a continuum of educational services provided to maximize the potential of each child. Enrichment activities are provided by teachers within the regular classroom.

However, students who demonstrate superiority of a specific academic aptitude, advanced thinking ability, visual or performing arts ability, psychomotor ability, and/or psychosocial and cultural leadership ability, may be provided with access to additional enrichment programming. Such programming is designed to assist students in developing and extending special talents in an environment that is both motivating and challenging. Students are encouraged to develop those skills that promote self-directed, life-long learning. Emphasis will be placed on critical and creative thinking, problem solving, co-operative learning, adaptability, task commitment, and self-evaluation.
