Enrichment Department
Mission and Vision

The mission statement of Penfield Central School District states that “we are all learners who work collaboratively in an environment of educational excellence, providing experiences that develop the individual and diverse talents and abilities of all students to prepare them for success as life-long scholars and contributing, responsible citizens.”

In keeping with this mission, the Enrichment Department offers comprehensive, collaborative programs and services to maximize the effectiveness of reaching all learners through appropriately challenging learning opportunities based on interest, readiness and learning profile.

Programming and services are based on the School-Wide Enrichment Model (SEM), developed by Joseph Renzulli, the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) Programming Standads, and the Response to Intervention (RtI) Model.
