Enrichment Days are special school days eagerly-anticpated by all our students.  The topic of each Enrichment Day is designed to augment the current classroom curriculum.  For example, students enjoy at least one History Enrichment Day per year which literally "brings to life" the time period the children are studying in class.  Another Enrichment Day might be an "insect party" or a trip to the Atlanta Botanical Garden to learn more about the insects and plants the children are studying.  Over-night trips are enjoyed by our fifth through eighth-graders at the end of each school year.   

Our school parents are a vital part of Enrichment Days, whether chaperoning students for an off-campus visit to the Atlanta Symphony , or playing key acting roles in making History Days come alive for our students.  If you come to visit, don't be surprised if you see "George Washington" walking the halls or our Headmaster dressed as Pharoah chasing the "Hebrews" across the "Red Sea." .  Many of our alumni include these History Enrichment Days in their list of favorite Perimeter School memories.

Look below to see a list of the Enrichment Days enjoyed by our students - and enjoyed by their parents!  Please note, this is to give visitors a flavor of Enrichment Days at Perimeter School and may change year-to-year, or even within the same year, as other circumstances and opportunities arise.
