GIFTED SERVICES
     A continuum of services that meet a wide range of abilities, interests, and learning styles are provided for students that are identified as gifted and talented. Service options include acceleration, flexible, grouping, and differentiation of the curriculum’s depth, pace and complexity. Service models include cluster grouping, resource room, self-contained language art classes, advanced placement classes, and post secondary education options.

SPECIAL EDUCATION
     Programming both inside and outside of the school setting. The majority of our students participate in an inclusionary setting in the regular classroom with extra adult support. By high school, many special education students can function with only tutoring support. Our teachers have had extensive professional development centered around Differentiation. Through this, teachers are better equipped to design curriculum and instruction to directly meet the needs of individual students.
