Enrichment Programs

Community service, vocational studies, introduction to foreign languages, performing arts, and museum docent visits are just some of the enrichments we are planning to compliment our curriculum. Additional enrichment programs are described below.

At Discovery Charter Schools, student learning reaches beyond the classroom. Teachers team to select field trips and assemblies that are an extension of the curriculum. Parents support field trips by providing input and helping with planning and implementation.

Junior Achievement (JA) gives young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices.

The JA experience helps students envision the possibilities of what they can be by helping them see the value of staying in school. Interactive JA curriculum engages and excites students, leading to stronger critical thinking and decision-making skills and more confidence.

JA programs are delivered by trained corporate and community volunteers who share their skills and personal and professional experiences to make learning come to life. For more information about JA in Northern California, go to janorca or their facebook.

This program engages children in experiences that promote a love of gardening, develop an appreciation for the environment, and cultivate the mind. This program encourages youth to be of service to others through service learning and leadership development projects and rewards them with certification.
