An Insatiable Appetite to Learn

You’ve noticed that your child is a voracious reader. They ask in-depth questions. They are never satisfied with simple tasks and simple answers.

They need a curriculum with the depth, pace, and complexity that will challenge them to the fullest.

Admissions Information

For Gifted and Academically Advanced Students

We’ve been kindling the minds of these types of learners for over 100 years. They learn faster, think bigger, and delve deeper. They listen, see, and feel more. We know this, we get this, we allow their bright to ignite.

Optimal Challenge

It’s not just rigor. We call it optimal challenge. When we meet gifted students where they are academically and then challenge them to think differently and even deeper about concepts, their minds begin to soar.

Motivated and Collaborative

Here they’re each their own. 

They’re each for each other. 

And they each understand. 

Together they’re joy. They’re drive. They’re more. 

What Is Your Dream for Your Child?

Help them see, do, be more. 

We have this moment, with these kids, when they want more. 

They’re bright. They’re eager. 

To go, and to keep going. 

Our graduates will show you.
