Elective Enrichment Classes
Where curiosity meets creativity!
At Ed-Venture, our Elective Enrichment classes are designed to help students grow—not just academically, but as whole individuals. Guided by the values of ʻimi naʻauao (the pursuit of knowledge) and hoʻohana (working with purpose), students have the opportunity to explore their passions, try new things, and develop meaningful life skills. Through laulima (working together) and hands-on learning, they build confidence, creativity, and connection. These experiences go beyond the classroom, encouraging each child to discover who they are and how they can contribute to the world around them.
🛠️ Skills Students Build Along the Way:
-
Public Speaking & Communication
-
Hands-On & Experiential Learning
-
Problem Solving & Critical Thinking
-
Collaboration & Teamwork
-
Creativity & Design
-
Marketing & Presentation Skills
-
Confidence & Leadership
These classes are designed to inspire students to try new things, take healthy risks, and grow in confidence and capability. Whether it’s planting a seed, building a robot, or performing on stage—every student can find a space to thrive.
