What is an enrichment lab? 

Hands-on, project-based programs that engage children at every stage of development. In these exploratory sessions, kids build, test, create, and problem-solve, extending their learning beyond the classroom rather than replacing it.

The Model 

The Enrichment Lab runs as a series of expert-led modules, each taught or co-taught by a working instructor from our network. Every module centers on fully customizable hands-on project work and students are so absorbed in building that the learning happens naturally, whether it's a new skill or a reinforcement of what they are covering in school.

FORMAT OPTIONS 

• After-School Program — students choose a module cycle; small groups, ~10 weeks per cycle, culminating in a student showcase

• In-School Elective — replaces a free period or underused elective slot; students rotate through modules across the semester, then specialize for a final project

• Weekly Creative Industry Workshops — a flexible, once-a-week series introducing students to a different creative industry each session, combining hands-on instruction, career exploration, and conversations with working professionals about their career journeys, day-to-day work, and industry insights. Schools can also add a monthly

• Family Creative Night— where students invite a parent or guardian to join a collaborative workshop that strengthens family engagement while showcasing student learning.
