Gifted Education Goals

Through enrichment, students receiving gifted services will:

• Develop and practice higher order and critical thinking skills
• Develop and practice creative thinking and problem solving skills
• Develop advanced research and study skills
• Develop and practice skills in the utilization of advanced technology
• Strengthen communication skills (verbal, nonverbal, and written) using various forms of media

Mission

Our curriculum consists of thematic, multidisciplinary units that encourage exploration and investigation, critical thinking, problem solving and creativity. We recognize gifted students should have the opportunity to regularly interact with their intellectual peers without isolating them from a traditional school environment.
