Horizons services at YMS consist of a variety of strategies to provide high level learning for our high ability students. We employ a combination of weekly classes, in-class enrichment with teacher consultation for new ideas and projects, and weekly enrichment classes. Students working on extended projects may also be matched with a community expert to mentor them.
Additional enrichment is provided after school in programs that are open to all YMS students. This includes the Writer's Club with Mr. Wallace, and the 7th and 8th Grade Math Teams, which compete in the Southern Maine Math League competitions (please contact Mrs. Andrea Gould for more information). Odyssey of the Mind is another creative enrichment opportunity offered for all students at YMS (please contact Mrs. Michele Freitag for more information).
Students gifted in the visual and performing arts can take part in the YMS Drama Club Spring Musical (contact Mrs. Susan Frank for more information), and may be eligible for enrichment art classes.
