Spanish
The Chabot PTA funds Spanish instruction for all kindergarteners. Optional before- and after-school Spanish programs are available for all grade levels at an additional cost to participants. 2011-2012 Before-School Spanish Class Information
Science*
* While Science is not one of the traditional enrichment programs, for the last few years, the PTA has funded a specialist to supplement the Science that classroom teachers provide. This enables classrooms to use special Full Option Science System (FOSS) kits that are time consuming to set up, allowing each grade level to go more in depth on Science.
School Garden
The formal garden program went on hiatus during the new building construction in 2008-2010. The focus now is on rebuilding the garden so it can be used for outdoor learning and enrichment.
