enrichment program

Supplemental learning experience

An enrichment program supplements standard education or activities with additional learning opportunities.

Schools offer enrichment programs in arts, sciences, or languages beyond the core curriculum.

The term also applies to structured activities for animals in captivity—puzzles, toys, or environmental changes that promote natural behaviors: The zoo's enrichment program keeps the primates mentally stimulated.
