Multiple criteria for identification involves a screening process initiated by a teacher, guidance counselor, or parent. The process includes a review of standardized group achievement and aptitude assessment results. A teacher's ratings on a Classroom Behavior Chart and a classroom performance checklist are also required and considered. The elementary program for grades 1-5 is known as LEEP, Learning Experience Enrichment Program. It offers enrichment activities to broaden students' experiences.
Classes involves both independent and group work.
Primary grade students work on a program developed by LEEP teachers. Courses, like Art Around the World, Woods and Water, or Genealogy, are created to prepare the students for the multidisciplinary approach used in the intermediate classes. Using Renzulli's Enrichment Triad Model, students are provided the opportunity to select their classes based upon their interests. It reinforces the basic skills of problem solving, goal setting, organization, and communication. Each course is completed in one day.
