A Different Kind of Learning Environment

---

Strong foundations in mathematics, reading, and writing are fundamental to success in school and beyond. Therefore, mathematics and reading/writing are not only incorporated into our multidisciplinary projects but are also taught as separate subjects. For example, the rigorous, research-backed Art of Problem Solving / Beast Academy will be the starting point for mathematics. For reading and writing, students will explore carefully selected, challenging works of literature as part of an inquiry-based curriculum developed by the William and Mary Center for Center for Gifted Education.  Students will work in learning groups based on ability rather than age or grade. Sierra Gifted Environmental School strives to meet each student where they are and to provide a challenging learning environment to help them achieve their fullest potential.
