The Talented and Gifted Program meets the needs of the academically gifted children in grades four through six. Opportunities are created for the students to produce and learn in an atmosphere that is intellectually challenging and personally rewarding. This is a nationally recognized program which helps students resist peer pressure to use drugs and alcohol. The program also develops student self-esteem. Students may elect to participate in extra curricular activities such as the Homework Club, School Newspaper, the Literary Magazine, Chess Club and Walking Club.
Teachers prepare many Thematic units throughout the school year.
These units incorporate various content areas across the curriculum and address designated special days, weeks or months. Parents and community volunteers are actively involved in all aspects of our school s programs and committees. Many assist classroom teachers and the librarian with students instructional needs. Coffee with the Principal meetings are held throughout the year and parents are encouraged to attend. These meetings help parents become informed about the various educational programs offered at Brookside School.
