SIG believes that each student has unique interests and abilities.
In recognition of the importance of individualizing the educational
programs to meet the needs of each child, we encourage families
to choose a schedule of courses that excites and challenges the
student.
We have found some guidelines helpful in assisting with the course
selection process. In creating a five-course schedule, some families
have found that a mixture of academic courses in various areas promotes
exploration, while others find that a focus on a particular field
of study enhances the student’s individual passion area. Further,
many students choose a study/tutorial as one of their five courses,
giving them an opportunity to work on projects, do research, and
complete assignments.
Typically, students choose two or three academic courses, one or
two arts and/or recreational courses, and one study/tutorial. We
suggest that parents with any academic questions or concerns contact
Ms. Barbara Swicord, V.P. of Academic Programming, at bswicord@giftedstudy.com.
There are five seventy-five minute periods (Periods I - V) in the
daily schedule Monday through Friday. Students select from the course
listing, choosing courses from the appropriate level.
