Enrichment Programs

Enrichment programs – both academic and non-academic – are excellent opportunities for students to learn more about themselves, their skill sets, and explore their interests outside of the regular classroom setting. Enrichment programs are also a great way for students to begin making connections between their interests and post-secondary planning. 

Please note: We are highlighting programs that we have received information on. This is by no means an exhaustive list of opportunities open to high school students. Meadowridge School does not promote any particular provider nor receive any financial interests.
