The Advanced Learners program believes that our students should be given opportunities to think creatively, use higher order thinking skills, while in a collaborative setting with peers, to find solutions to real world problems. Our vision is to maximize the academic potential of our advanced learners and prepare them to be 21st century learners and workers.
