High Potential & Gifted Education

Some students learn faster and more easily than others. These students may shine in creativity, thinking, leadership or sport.

At our school, we recognise and nurture these strengths early. We support advanced learners with great lessons and activities to help them grow and thrive.

Our unique Bilingual French Program challenges and extends our students high potential and giftedness in learning. We use the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) principles for subjects such as Science, History and Geography. The CLIL methodology is curriculum taught through an additional language, creating a dual focus on learning the subject matter and simultaneously improving language skills.
