• Our big idea is to build a knowledge-base and global awareness in our students with hopes to cultivate their learning through science, arts, literacy, writing, mathematics, engineering, design, and technology. We structure our Gifted Support RAM Time to support the application of 21st-century skills through hands-on problem-solving tasks and require a real-world application. These Problem-Based Learning (PBL) sessions are student-centered and foster learning which takes place within the contexts of authentic tasks, issues, and/ or problem (s)--that are aligned with real-world concerns.
