  • Enrichment Program

    Montini Catholic School has a built in Enrichment Program in Grades 4-8!  Enrichment is for students who grasp class content quickly and need to be more engaged in the classroom.

    Enrichment focuses on critical thinking and logic, and helps students refine those skills so they can be applied in the rest of their education.  Enrichment is built into our Math class as well as our STEM program which is geared for 6-8th grade students.  

    The benefits of an Enrichment Program are: 

    1. Increased Understanding of Self
    2. Improved Study Skills
    3. Increased Interest in Learning
    4. Higher Motivation
    5. Paced Learning
       
  • Dear Parents,

    Enrichment has been such a successful program over the years that it continues to evolve as it should.  It began as a way to offer what was needed by the students who were high achievers in the regular classroom.  In recent years, it started to transition into the Engineering and STEM programs. It will continue to evolve.

    As teachers at Montini, we realize that meeting the needs of students at every level and encouraging growth at every level is so important.  We, too, are evolving in our profession. We have been working hard at including all students in the opportunities to enrich their learning.

    Therefore, starting this year we are excited to present to you a different form of the same Enrichment program to all students!  It was becoming apparent to us that most students are interested in “solving the puzzles” they saw the Enrichment students doing.  The Enrichment students are finding it difficult to miss out on their regular classes. Our solution will address both of these issues.  The same problem-solving activities will be offered in the regular math classes for all 4th-8th grades. Strategies will be taught and collaboration will be encouraged.  The hands-on building and other activities will be offered in the STEM/Engineering classes.

    It was decided that 2nd and 3rd-grades will continue the traditional Enrichment program.  We believe that there is so much focus on the basics at this age (and rightly so), that it is more beneficial for all students to get what they need in this way.  As teachers, we are collaborating to meet everyone’s needs. The STEM program for the primary students has also enhanced the learning for all students.

    We really are excited about these changes!  The way we work together to bring the best education we can to all the students makes us joyful.  God has been guiding us through this process over the last few years and we couldn’t be more thankful!

     

    Sincerely,

    Montini Faculty
