The middle school gifted program is designed to enhance the gifted student's individual needs throughout the entire school day. Student needs in the regular education program are met through the use of advanced questioning techniques, curriculum compacting, independent study, and/or differentiated outcomes and products.
The gifted support program, which supplements the regular class program, works to enhance the skills the student needs to be a successful learner. Problem solving skills, critical thinking activities, and independent-study skills are among the many support strands offered that are transferable for use by the student to enhance learning and performance across a variety of structures.
Students have the opportunity to participate in enrichment workshops, seminars, contests, and competitions based on their individual strengths and needs. In addition, gifted students complete enrichment experiences through pull-out GATE classes, where they can collaborate with other gifted peers.
