The school makes extensive use of specialist teachers and scheduling that facilitates individualizing the curriculum according to the student's needs. For example, a six year old might learn math with the seven or eight year olds and then return to age-mates for the rest of the day. During that day that student may be in a reading group at the third grade level, work with the whole class in a Native American social studies unit, and go with classmates to the art room where they are studying perspective and working on pen and ink studies. Curriculum in the Lower School includes Reading , Spelling , Geography , Language Arts , Mathematics , Science , Social Studies , Latin , Spanish , Art and Art History , Music , Drama , Physical Education , and Computer Science . The curriculum in all areas is specifically tailored to meet the intellectual needs and learning styles of gifted children, while providing age-appropriate social and emotional support.
Classes also enjoy many field trips throughout the year.
There is no after-school care available. All students wear a school uniform which, while flexible in its components, allows the emphasis to be placed on the individuality of each child, and not on his or her personal wardrobe.
