We are a live, online community of learning and belonging for gifted & multiexceptional children
Probably the most important thing that sets us apart from public schools, private schools, and other online programs is the extent to which we mold the program, its curricula, and ourselves to meet the individual students where they are in every subject. Our cluster of carefully chosen technology, significantly vetted teachers, and curricula makes this possible.
We are a virtual gifted education program with academic subjects plus other classes that are especially appropriate for gifted and multiexceptional students.
Monday to Thursday are the main academic subjects days and include Science, Soft Skills, Visual Art, Social Time, English Language Arts, Social Studies, Spanish or Latin, and after-class clubs. On Fridays, we have Independent Investigations, Enrichment Clusters in STEM and Humanities, Thinking Skills, Explorations of the Weird, Wacky, and Wonderful, and extra Social Time.
