Math Reading and Art Extensions
All of our programs combine relevant research-based science content with Math, Reading, and Artistic activities. They also include Writing, Library Science, and Information Technology extensions as well. We work with families and organizations to custom fit our programs to the appropriate ages, interests, and abilities of the participants.
Let’s Have Fun
We know what amuses Gifted Students. Our academically challenging science programs contain aspects of the arts, competitions, games, movement, logic, and puzzles. Gifted students will have opportunities to form friendships with true peers with a similar passion about learning.
Grade LevelThe grade level of our programs indicates the level that is appropriate to gifted learners social and motor skills. Motor skills and social development are essential for science laboratory safety. The content provided is matched to their gifted academic ability and is well above their school grade level.
Expectation of Students
This program is limited to a select number of students each year. In order to benefit from the camp, participants must not only be gifted, but should also have the maturity to conduct themselves safely in a supervised laboratory setting. Our focus is both to have fun, and to become better scholars. Thus, children should be able to refrain from behaviors that will adversely impact the other participants.Physical Location: 2101 Sunnydale Blvd Unit C Clearwater, Fl 33765
