Enrichments
Enrichment Coordinator: Lisa Belotti
Graduation requirement:
Students are required to participate in four enrichment opportunities. Enrichment experiences are scheduled outside the normal school calendar. These opportunities include school-organized experiences such as activities at the school, domestic trips and international trips; or independent experiences offered by organizations recognized by the IA, or alternative experiences set up by the individual student and approved by the IA. Students make their selections at the beginning of each school year.
The enrichment program is an integral part of the IA curriculum. It allows students to pursue special interests without having to be concerned with academic requirements from other classes. Students are encouraged to participate in a language immersion experience in either grade ten or eleven. The emphasis of enrichment is on experiential and exploratory learning. Documentation of six enrichment experiences is required to receive an IA high school diploma.
Students have the opportunity to use their enrichment experience documentation, internship documentation, and product team documentation to create an impressive resume of activities and achievements. These experiences can also be used for CAS portfolio in grades eleven and twelve.
