Summer and Saturday Enrichment Program

Traditionally, the Saturday Program is offered every winter, on five consecutive Saturday mornings in January and February. This program offers academic enrichment classes for students in grades Kindergarten through 5th. In this program, our goal is to foster in children intellectual curiosity and a love of learning in a wide variety of fields and disciplines. Curriculum and instruction are designed to intellectually challenge and engage your child in authentic inquiries into major concepts and big ideas of a field through critical, creative, and problem-based thinking/learning.

Students accepted into the Summer program spend the morning and afternoon engaged in meaningful learning experiences. Specifically, a variety of course offerings from caring and expert staff across multiple disciplines provide students the opportunity to engage in interactive learning experiences that model the work of experts. The academic staff utilizes best practices to maximize potential in each student and ignite a passion for life-long learning. As such, the courses at SEP are designed to foster (1) exploration of individual student interests, (2) critical and creative thinking, and (3) production of authentic student products.
