Elementary
Kindergarten through 3rd grade students receive 30-minute enrichment lessons from the GT Coordinator monthly. The GT coordinator, with the help of classroom teachers, tracks students who show strengths over the years leading to formal identification, which begins in 4th grade.
The GT coordinator serves identified 4th-6th grade students in a pull-out, or resource room setting, for 150 minutes per week. These students focus on furthering their development of skills introduced in early elementary and participate in competitions and events that connect their learning to authentic, real-world experiences.

High School
Students in 7th through 12th grades participate in 45-minute monthly meetings that center around student-guided interests as well as a continual focus on critical thinking, creativity, affective development, and leadership.
Concurrent credit courses provide additional opportunities for 9th-12th grade students to be challenged academically beyond that of the regular classroom.
