Instructional courses cover humanities, sciences and mathematics, and multi-disciplinary courses. Every student selects three courses and has a recreational period. Each class meets five times a week for 90 minutes each. Courses are taught at levels appropriately challenging for academically gifted students who are ages 6-12 as of the program start date.

Instructional Strategies
The teaching staff employs strategies that have proven to be particularly effective in stimulating and motivating academically gifted students. In addition to traditional methods, such as interactive lecture, question and answer sessions, and discussion groups, instructors use hands-on methods of learning that promote active participation, creativity and higher order thinking skills. Such strategies may include debate, construction of models, simulations, dramatic performances, legal briefs, and other demonstrations and projects that involve high levels of participatory learning.
