Gifted Program
Gifted Program
At StudentScholars Private School, we believe every learner deserves an educational experience that nurtures their unique talents and supports their highest potential. Our Gifted program is designed specifically for students who demonstrate exceptional intellectual ability, creativity, and a passion for learning beyond the standard curriculum.
​
Who is a Gifted Student?
Gifted learners often exhibit:
-
Advanced intellectual curiosity and academic interests
-
Exceptional verbal and analytical skills
-
Creativity and originality in thinking
-
Strong problem-solving and logical reasoning abilities
-
A need for greater depth, complexity, and pace in learning
​
These students thrive when given opportunities to think critically, explore advanced content, and engage in creative, independent learning.
"Giftedness refers to an exceptionally high level of intellectual ability that necessitates enriched and differentiated learning experiences. These experiences go beyond the standard curriculum in both depth and complexity to meet the unique educational needs and potential of the student."
