These are educational programs designed to supplement the academic curriculum and facilitate the intellectual stimulation of children. The programs are singularly focused and outside required introductory courses such as reading, writing, arithmetic, geometry, and science.
These programs can enhance introductory courses for more in-depth study, such as taking science to another level with inventions, becoming an explorer, or learning about ancient engineering. For example, an enrichment program could be guitar lessons, robotics, learning chess, video production, cooking, woodshop, art, and languages.
Enrichment programs offer a creative aspect of homeschooling that gives parents freer rein to assess their child’s strengths and support them with increased learning to bring out the best in them and expose them to a variety of useful skills for life.
