ENRICHMENT
Sports, financial literacy, and chess opportunities are built into our daily schedule. We are committed to ensuring gender equity in sports like we’re committed to introducing investing to our youngest.
Through curriculum-based soccer, track & field, volleyball, basketball, and softball, students will have the necessary knowledge and skills to establish and maintain physical fitness, participate in physical activity, and maintain personal health. They’ll acquire the knowledge and ability necessary to crate and maintain a safe and healthy environment. Parents are encouraged to discuss unit goals with our Mentors to monitor their childs skill acquisition for all sports.
Our financial literacy programs give students the tools for good money management and the skills needed to create a brighter financial future. We examine financial concepts and decision-making through real-life problem solving and mathematical computation. Students will learn the basics of money, budgeting, savings and checking accounts, credit, and investing.
The game of chess is one through which students develop critical thinking, logic, reason, problem solving abilities, memory, concentration, and visualization. All Achievement Lab students learn how to play chess within weeks of joining our program. Students will learn how chess pieces move, simple strategy, special moves, checkmate using typical patterns and more. Students grow confidence, patience, determination, poise, and good sportsmanship to participate in tournament simulations.
