Enrichment Programs Expanded for 2022

Rebecca Woolfrey
Grier’s Enrichment Programs begin two weeks before the academic year commences and provide new and returning Grier students the opportunity to move onto campus early, forge connections with friends and faculty, develop skills, and have a great time.  
These programs first began for the Fall 2020 opening to allow students to return to campus in small, staggered groups. Since then, the programs have grown in popularity and Grier is now expanding the variety offered in Visual and Performing Arts.  

Grier is recognized by Niche as the #1 Best High School for the Arts in Pennsylvania and is offering four categories of enrichment in Visual and Performing Arts for 2022. Students can enroll in programs focused on Art Photography & Video Production, Dance, Drama, or Music. Grier is also known for producing winning equestrian teams and welcomes riders of any level to participate in the Riding Orientation Program. New international students can benefit from the International Student Orientation Program (ISOP), which helps English Language Learners acclimate socially and academically to life at Grier. 

While most of the Enrichment Programs are two weeks in duration, running August 27 through September 9, 2022, and welcome students of any age, the Princeton Review® SAT® Prep and College Application Program is different. The Princeton Review® SAT® Prep and College Application Program is a one-week, intensive program open only to students entering grade 11 or 12. 
 
In addition to their individual areas of focus, participants can enjoy excursions, activities, and meals together. Enrichment Programs are a great way for students to fall into a rhythm for success in the upcoming year.

Permission forms for 2022-23 Enrichment Programs must be completed and returned to Grier School by August 12, 2022.
