Elementary Discovery Program
The Douglas County School District has designed intensive programming for elementary school students in grades 2
through 6 who require educational programming beyond what can reasonably be expected from the regular classroom.
These students can be identified by the following characteristics:
- They make connections between and among disciplines and concepts beyond what could be expected among their age peers.
- They are able to learn quickly and need appropriately paced instruction.
- They are usually inquisitive and often passionate about one or more areas of interest.
- They have interests beyond those which could be expected of their age peers.
- They are advanced academically in language and/or math concepts.
- They have curricular needs which must be modified beyond what is expected in the regular classroom.
- They display a high level of cognitive potential.
- Their social and emotional needs require grouping with intellectual peers not often available within the regular classroom.
