Gifted and Talented

Our Gifted and Talented program enriches our academic program by offering accelerated instructional opportunities for students that demonstrate several of the following behaviors: self-motivation; intense, sometimes unusual interests 22 for their developmental level; highly expressive communication skills; effective, often inventive problem-solving ability; large storehouse of information (memory); inquiry/curiosity; insight; reasoning; original imagination/creativity; humor; intensity; and sensitivity to emotional stimuli. Our curriculum is interdisciplinary and inquiry-based in nature. It is centered around the principles of research, exploration, presentation, and performance. We use the design thinking approach to systematically extract, teach, learn, and apply human-centered techniques to solve problems in a creative and innovative way based on students’ interests.
