Supplemental Enrichments for a Well Rounded Education

The Elementary Options Program (EOP) includes a range of optional in-person and live online enrichments to supplement their studies. These activities are wonderful opportunities for socialization taught by our licensed educators. They help balance out online learning with important social experiences.

Virtual Enrichment Options

Students can attend virtual enrichment classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings designed to enhance their learning experience. They’re taught by our experienced and licensed elementary teachers who are experts in integrating standard-based lessons in popular subjects like art, science, and social studies. These enrichments are all developed around standards and themes related to the subjects and time of year.

 Other options are:

Math Club: For students who want to improve their math skills.
Chess Club: To learn tips and strategies of how to play chess and play online together.
Digital Bookmaking: Students develop their typing skills and learn how to craft sentences and stories.
Stop Motion: Students learn how to tell stories while learning animation techniques.

On-Campus Enrichment Activities

On either Tuesday or Thursday, EOP students can join their grade-level peers at our Eagle Creek Campus for extracurricular activities. Spots need to be reserved in advance since they’re limited to ensure small class sizes. Teachers blend their unique approach with project-based learning, integrating subjects and themes while staying in line with state standards.

K-5 students have access to PE, Music, Project-Based Learning, and integrated thematic units that foster collaboration and classroom skills.

Students in grades 3-5 can also participate in optional afternoon clubs, including:

LEGO Club: Students collaborate, design, and engineer creative builds using LEGO.
Drama Club: Typically culminates in an end-of-year school performance.
Art Club: Students develop artistic skills and explore different aspects of art with a teacher.
Nature/Outdoor Club: When the weather permits, this club heads outside for outdoor learning activities.

Field Trips and Social Meetups

With students across the state, we offer a variety of field trips and social meet-ups at least once a month throughout the year. They’re a great opportunity for students and families to connect, build friendships, and foster community.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Still have questions?
See our FAQ page for more information or contact us directly.

What are enrichments and extracurricular activities?

Enrichments are optional virtual learning opportunities where we connect with students. They take place on Mondays and Wednesdays. Our extracurricular activities and classes take place at our Eagle Creek campus, and are also optional to attend. Both provide excellent social experiences for students to collaborate with their peers and learn from a licensed educator. Students who attend are given attendance for that day. 

What kind of field trips are offered?

SLC offers several field trips each year that are designed to offer educational and social enrichment opportunities to students. We have field trips all over the Portland and greater metro area. Past field trips have included the Symphony, Zoo, Evergreen Museum, Franz Bakery to name just a few.

Does my child need to attend the virtual enrichment classes?

No! That’s the beauty of this program; you can engage with us as much or as little as you like. Whatever fits your schedule and your student’s interest. However, these do cover state standards and are a rich addition to what you are doing at home.

What if my child does not want to attend optional in-person extracurricular activities?

That’s not a problem! Our program is set up to serve all students across Oregon. Many do not live anywhere near the campus and never attend enrichments. However, when we have special events, many students will attend so they feel connected to the school.
