THE MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY
THE MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY
Carlynton’s Gifted Education Program is comprised of various goals and objectives to address the areas of strength and need of a student as acknowledged in the Gifted Written Report and Gifted Individualized Education Plan (GIEP). These programs reflect individual differences, equal educational opportunity and a desire for the optimal development of every child. Students may have the opportunity to select differentiated options within the core curriculum, competitions, career exploration, and Advanced Placement classes.
Gifted students receive the conceptual framework of continuous progress through the district’s mainstream curriculum. This curriculum includes alternatives to provide opportunities for different types of learning styles. The central consideration for the education of gifted students is to provide appropriate educational opportunities commensurate with capabilities. A high level of challenge is provided in the classroom environment. This system of delivery meets the needs of gifted learners and also addresses the learning needs of high achieving students who attend our schools.

Open Heart Surgery
Lucy Vetter and Kellyn Palmer teamed up with students from Baldwin School District who were all invited to AGH hospital to watch an open heart surgery procedure where the patient was getting a valve replacement. The surgery took about 4 hours and and the students got to watch the procedure and talk to the Doctor afterwards. Surgery was a success and we wish the patient well!
Global Impact Forum
Mary Crawford, Shania Purdom, Shalea Smith and Olivia Schutz headed down to the Pittsburgh Convention Center to discuss ways to use AI that would benefit schools. While being the youngest team there, they spoke on how to use AI for small jobs to free up Maintenance Staff members to work on the bigger jobs. They got a lot of positive verbal feedback from leaders in different companies and were able to join in 4 different workshops that included use VR glasses to inspect a Sickle Cell as well as using technology to overlay pictures to draw on. At the end, the team got to meet Astronaut Dr. Charles Camarda and talk with him for a bit. More photos are on the events page!
