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.
