Extra-Curricular Activities for Enrichment and Learning  

These are extra-curricular activities done after school hours to further hone talents and skills of the various types of learners.

Auditory and Musical Learners​​

​

     Aural learning is a unique type of learning style, but it is used to classify those who respond primarily to sound. Unsurprisingly, most musicians are aural learners.
