Program Summary:
Each student in the Gifted program at BCTHS is entitled to services provided under Chapter 16 and is programmed for through an individual education plan.
Each year we offer a seminar series related to a central theme whereby students build leadership, communication, and the critical thinking skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
Additionally, we offer students opportunities for acceleration and enrichment.
The following will be our focus for the 2025-2026 school year: Passion Projects
This year will look a little different. Instead of five half-day seminars, we will meet once a month for an 84-minute session. Our focus will be on exploring your individual gifts and talents. Each time we meet, we’ll start with a creative problem-solving activity, and then you’ll have the opportunity to give a 15-20-minute presentation to showcase your gifts, talents, or interests. You can choose to present 1x, 7x's or never- whatever makes you most comfortable.
Throughout the year, we also plan to invite your parents and teachers to join us and share something they’re passionate about. For example, I love yoga and may lead a short chair-yoga class. Mrs. Angelitis loves pickleball and might teach you the basic rules of the game—or she may even share her secret love of Harry Potter.
We’re looking forward to a great year of learning, creativity, and fun together!
