Established in 1985, the Missouri Scholars Academy (MSA) is a three-week academic program for 330 of Missouri"s gifted students who are ready to begin their junior year in high school. The goals of the Academy are to help gifted students achieve their full potential and motivate them to use their abilities to attain high standards of achievement; to encourage local schools to improve and expand gifted education programs; and to assist in providing the state with experienced faculty and specialized curriculum for such students.
Now in its 27th year, the Missouri Scholars Academy offers a variety of Academic Majors and Academic Minors concentrating on four major academic areas: mathematics, science, social studies and humanities. These classes are usually college level or experimental, and meant to stimulate gifted students.
Another vital part of the Missouri Scholars Academy is Personal and Social Dynamics, or "PSD". The goal of ‘PSD’ is to provide students with the insight for understanding their own special abilities, including the advantages and responsibilities they have to themselves and to society.
