    The program is designed to challenge our gifted learners with relevant activities to meet their academic needs. Identified students in grades three, four, and five who qualify after meeting the requirements of the rubric

    • are invited to participate in a program of pull-out classes with a gifted and talented instructor. 

    • are engaged in both critical and creative thinking activities both in the classroom and when pulled out, to provide an emphasis on research. 

    Learning activities focus student discovery on relationships, systems, and structures that exist all around them. Topics are broad in scope, and the program addresses the New Jersey Student Learning Standards at an advanced level; aligns with the National Association of Gifted Children (NAGC) Standards; and focuses on creative problem solving, research, critical thinking skills, communication skills, and leadership skills within a highly engaging format.
