Curriculum & special classes
The curriculum is delivered within a play-based format, integrating social emotional, physical, cognitive, literacy, language, mathematics, science/technology, social studies, and the arts. It aims to educate the whole child, providing a dynamic and challenging environment that responds to the individual intellectual, social, emotional, physical, aesthetic, and cognitive needs of gifted children.
Financial aid
Financial aid is need-based, with 30-35% of families receiving assistance, and awards ranging from 10-70%. It can also be applied to before and aftercare programs, school days off, and other camp programs.
Application fee: $75
