Welcome to the 5/6 Discovery Classroom! The Discovery Program is a self-contained, center based, magnet program for highly gifted learners located regionally at three elementary school sites in Douglas County. The program is intended for those students who require intensity of instruction and acceleration beyond what can reasonably be expected from the regular school gifted programming.

Students may enjoy a snack in the classroom, but please make sure it is a healthy snack. Check out this article for some great snack ideas. Cupcakes, donuts, cookies, brownies, candy, etc. will not be permitted in the classroom during snack time. We do have students with food allergies. Please do not send in food containing pistachios and cashews.
