Enrichment

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn"


Enrichment programs provide students with opportunities to explore subjects beyond the standard curriculum, fostering a deeper understanding and passion for learning. These programs can expose students to various career paths and life skills, preparing them for future academic and professional endeavors.

Auburn Elementary School offers students a wide array of extracurricular and co-curricular activities. Avondale Elementary Schools also incorporate career-development within the elementary curriculum and through enrichment activities. 

Here you'll find a variety of programs Auburn students and families have the opportunity to participate in each year.
