GIFTED AND TALENTED

Academically gifted students attend special classes in the QUEST program. Classes are designed to stimulate students’ critical and creative thinking skills, and to challenge them to become independent learners. Sixth- and seventh-graders work in logic and problem-solving, and participate in classroom simulations which require research, cooperative learning, and role-playing. Eighth-graders are involved in the Future Problem Solving competition. At all three grade levels, there is a strong emphasis on technology as students use computers for research and for preparing individual, group, and class presentations.
