Description
The Gifted and Talented Program is based on the belief that every child has gifts and talents to be valued and nurtured. This program promotes choice for the student and parent. Children explore a wide variety of larning experiences through core and elective courses that continually develop individual strengths and interests. There are no tests, auditions, or performance standards for acceptance into the Gifted and Talented Program.All students have the opportunity to take elective classes. Students in k-2 take two electives and students in our 3-5 classes take three electives

The curriculum design offers a “choice” model for students and parents. It provides options and alternatives for learning designed to accommodate varying gifts, talents, interests,strengths, and needs.
