Grades 3-4

The Gifted and Talented Program is designed for bright and inquisitive children who have completed second or third grade. Our program opens the door to the world of creativity and intellectual possibilities.

Learning Communities

Last Summer, the Gifted and Talented program introduced the integration of learning communities. The Gifted Learning Communities groups children together who share common interests and are actively engaged in learning together, from each other, and by habituation. These learning communities will provide the students with a more holistic environment while still engaging them in a fun, unique summer experience!

• Students in second and third grade will have the opportunity to enroll in two learning communities this summer.
• Students that remain with us for a full day of camp will have the opportunity to enroll in two classes of interest during the remaining periods of the day.
• Students coming for the half day program can enjoy a morning learning community and a 4th period class of their choice (no lunch will be provided).
• Please Note: The classes within the community are not interchangeable; therefore, canceling one class will result in a loss of all the linked courses.
