After School Programs

10-week programs open to students ages 6-12. Students choose from courses that offer students curriculum beyond what is offered during the school day, are wide-ranging in potential interest areas for individualized learning, and engage students in hands-on learning while applying school content through speaking, writing, researching, analyzing, reasoning, and questioning. This program also offers additional activities to support the social, ethical, and self-expression needs of gifted students. This program can be individualized to address the ages, abilities, interests and needs of a particular school.

Saturday Programs

The goal of the four-week SIG Saturday Program is to empower students in grades 1-6 to discover and develop their skills and talents by engaging in authentic activities and applied curriculum. Participants face intellectual challenges, create original products, and develop emerging life skills and talents. By working on a group project, students are a part of a vibrant learning community. See locations below for detailed information.

Weekend Workshops

If your school is just looking for a singular weekend experience to engage the students in your community, SIG Beyond also offers an individualized weekend program model. In this model, students attend sessions for two days on a weekend where they deal with a problem or issue in a problem-based learning, problem-solving format.
