West Campus
Welcome to Monument Academy's Elementary Gifted and Talented (GT) Program, where we embrace an innovative enrichment model. Our approach is designed to ignite the potential of our GT students, propelling them beyond traditional learning boundaries.
In our program, we foster a dynamic learning environment by engaging identified GT students in focused enrichment projects. These projects are conducted in small groups, allowing personalized attention from our GT facilitator. These projects are developed blending diverse concepts seamlessly, ensuring that the projects are both intellectually stimulating and aligned with grade-specific content.
In the realm of mathematics, our commitment to tailored education shines through. Our grade-level teams expertly organize students into ability groups for math, offering an above-grade-level class at every level. Even within our GT groups, students identified as mathematically gifted are presented with captivating math activities that continually challenge and inspire them.
Language Arts finds its place as an integral thread woven into our enrichment projects. Our GT facilitators collaborate with classroom teachers, harmonizing their efforts to provide differentiated materials that cater to the specific strengths of identified students. This collaborative approach enriches the language arts experience, fostering comprehensive growth and development.
At Monument Academy, we pride ourselves on nurturing the extraordinary capabilities of our GT students. Our holistic enrichment model cultivates not only academic excellence but also a passion for learning that will propel them toward a future marked by limitless possibilities.
