Enriching Minds, Inspiring Excellence
Gifted Education at Saint Mary provides qualified students with differentiated instruction that caters to their advanced academic needs, often including complex problem-solving, creative exploration, and in-depth investigations. Students gather for 90 minutes once a week to attend a small group session with our gifted education specialist. The focus is on enriched content, advanced concepts, and open-ended inquiry, going beyond the regular classroom curriculum. Small group opportunities allow for tailored instruction based on individual student needs. It provides opportunities for collaboration and peer interaction with other gifted students encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and higher-order cognitive skills.
