Gifted & Talented Program: High School
Gifted and talented students thrive at Connections Academy. With
individualized lesson plans, advanced courses, and specialized
teachers, we create an environment where talents are nurtured and
potential is realized.
In high school, Connections Academy's
counselors advise students on their academic plans and create a
four-year plan that meets their goals. Advanced students enjoy a
rigorous college-preparatory curriculum that challenges and prepares
them to excel in future studies.
Challenging the Gifted High School Student
Connections
Academy's curriculum challenges gifted high school students to stretch
their abilities and sharpen their critical thinking skills. With a wide
array of honors courses, we engage the budding historian or writer as
well as the math whiz and scientist. With eighteen Advanced Placement
(AP) courses ranging from Art History to Macroeconomics to World
History, we prepare students for the national AP tests that can earn
them college credit.
In some Connections Academy schools,
advanced students also may take courses at a local university and earn
credit toward both high school graduation and college. Ask a
Connections Academy counselor about the availability of this option at
your school.
