REACH: Realizing Excellence through Academic and Creative Help
The video above explains the importance of providing opportunities for transcendent thinking in classrooms, especially at the middle school level. Our gifted program at all grade levels prioritizes providing these opportunities. We recognize the importance of cultivating self-identity and allowing students to collaborate with their gifted peers. We strive to offer opportunities for students to make connections between what they are learning in the classroom to the real world around them and to each other. We want our students to think about what they want the world to look like in the future and empower them to strive to create that world.
REACH Vision
We envision schools in which giftedness and high potential are recognized, valued, and nurtured to support children from all backgrounds in achieving their personal best and contributing to their local and global communities.
REACH Mission
To support intellectual, academic, creative, social and emotional development of our gifted students and our advanced learners, ensuring they receive an appropriate and engaging gifted education, all day and every day, according to their abilities and potential.
