Once your child has been identified as eligible to participate in our high potential programs, our school's Gifted and Talented Specialist will work together with you and your child's teacher to determine which program(s) best meet your child's needs.
Math Enrichment
This program is offered to students who demonstrate advanced mathematical capabilities and who possess high abilities in analytical reasoning and computation.
Quest
Students whose academic performance is significantly above grade level and whose needs go beyond the usual classroom curriculum will find Quest an exciting program. This rigorous academic experience fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and higher-order thinking challenges. Admission into Quest is selective, and is based on individual strengths and talents.
