Enrichment Program

Designed to encourage development of higher-level thinking skills, Enrichment extends the regular Bellevue Schools curriculum through interdisciplinary, enriched learning five hours each week. Enrichment students leave their regular classroom to work with other qualifying students and an Enrichment teacher in engaging and thought-provoking sessions. Eligible Bellevue district students are offered transportation to one of the four district schools that host Enrichment Centers. Students must reside in the district to be eligible for placement in this program.
 

Locations

Students served "full time" at a host school are enrolled at that school. All required bus service is provided by the district. Cherry Crest and Spiritridge students attend their home school four days a week and take a bus one day a week to Bennett for Enrichment. Eastgate and Newport Heights students take a bus to Puesta one day per week to participate in Enrichment.
