High potential and gifted education
Every student learns in their own way and at their own pace. Some students show special talents in creativity, problem-solving, making friends, or sports.
At our school, we notice and celebrate these strengths. We provide fun and helpful activities that support each student to grow, learn, and enjoy their time with us.
