2025-2026 Programming 

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 2026-2027 school year: Passion Projects

This year, we will be exploring challenges that our community faces, such as:

• climate in crisis

• decreasing disasters

• excellence in education 

• food insecurity

• helping health

• intentional prevention

• nurturing nature

• world without waste

In small groups, students will choose a challenge and work through the process of addressing the needs of the "community" they have identified. We will take a structured problem-solving approach as we work through the ideas of:

• making connections

• envisioning our goals

• designing and testing solutions

• developing pathways for change

• putting our solutions out there- the pitch 

In an ideal world, we would love to have parents join us in May/June for a "pitch" day where the kids highlight their work (provided our vision comes to life). 

We’re looking forward to a great year of learning, creativity, and fun together!
