Overview of Enrichment Program
Enrichment at CIS is designed to integrate IEP goals with the IB framework in an inclusive setting. Our class is largely project based, but also includes discussions, current events, reflection and creative opportunities. The program details change each year depending on general education curriculum, student need and our ever-changing global culture. Explore age specific programs below.
MYP
MYP students meet as a group four times a week to do creative and investigatory projects, data analysis and problem solving puzzles. This time is also dedicated to helping them stay on top of core classwork and organization.
PYP
The PYP Enrichment program is fully inclusive. Enriched, challenging and differentiated projects are taught in the general education classroom, so every student can choose to challenge themselves. IEP goals are integrated into projects or small group assignments, and pull-outs are organized on an as-needed basis.
Health and Wellness
Health and Wellness at CIS is an incredible opportunity for Juniors and Seniors to learn science-backed strategies, practical skills and habits to support long term holistic wellness. Students will set personal wellness goals and explore areas of wellness that impact their immediate and long term health. This class is taught in collaboration with our PE Teacher, Coach Berry.
