Overview

The Network is an enrichment program for grades six through twelve which strives to challenge students in a variety of areas. It allows them to take advantage of creative and academic opportunities that extend far beyond classroom curriculum. It strengths lie in both the self-nomination component and the non-pullout format. Students select programs based upon interest and time available. Activities demand varying amounts of preparation, ranging from two periods a week to six months.

All students are encouraged to meet for creative problem solving activities, group discussion and the pursuits of individual interests. They are allowed to select from the various opportunities provide.Freedom of selection encourages the students to become more responsible for them to increase their initiative. Opportunities exist for the students to expand their horizons, to understand their potential, and to explore intellectual freedom.
