Established in 2000, Scholars Academy is a public, non-profit charter school serving the unique social, emotional, and intellectual needs of one of the most underserved children in the school system - the highly gifted. Representing only 2% of the population, these children come from all socio-economic groups, backgrounds, and cultures.
Highly gifted children whose special needs are not met have a greater risk of social and emotional problems compared to their age mates. As a result, many will underachieve and/or drop out of high school or college. Highly gifted children from disadvantaged backgrounds are doubly at risk of academic failure if their needs are not met. Research shows that approximately 15% of the nation's juvenile delinquent population scores in the top 3% of the nation intellectually.
Scholars Academy is proud to serve the special needs of our community's highly gifted children and help each child reach their full potential.
