Pinnacle Peak Preparatory School utilizes the Schoolwide Cluster Grouping Model for students in grades Kindergarten - 3rd grade. In this model, gifted students are clustered into mixed-ability classrooms at each grade level. The teacher has training in understanding, planning for, and instructing gifted students.

For grades 4-6, students receive content replacement of the regular grade-level curriculum provided in their homeroom classes, and content enrichment in addition to instruction provided in the homeroom or gifted cluster class. The curriculum in these content areas is accelerated to an appropriately challenging level.
