According to the National Association for Gifted Children, a “gifted child” has an excellent memory, unusually large vocabulary, enjoys solving logic problems and has a highly developed imagination and sense of curiosity, among other factors. Often, these children tend to be highly sensitive and can get easily lost in their own thoughts.

In order to learn and grow effectively, all children must be challenged on a regular basis. Our teachers aim to meet the needs and interests of all students in the classroom, regardless of varying levels. It is important for us to build a sense of community within the classroom.

We also help children appreciate each other’s intelligence and skills rather than creating an environment where they feel that they must compete to be “the best.”

In our classrooms, we have a balance of group activities.In some activities, students work on being part of a team while, in other activities, students work on activities specific to their interests and skill levels.It is important to understand a child’s interests and to allow for exploration and expansion in a way that interests the student.

While teachers assess each student, parent insight is always helpful. There are times when children does not want to draw extra attention to themselves in front of their peers so they make sure they appear focused and entertained in class but go home and tell their parents that they are bored. If a child seems bored or frustrated with curriculum topics, please let our teachers know!
