SIG-Day Programs

The Summer Institute for the Gifted-Day Program provides instruction in 30 courses during its regular academic schedule and engages students in recreational activities every day. Courses are taught at levels appropriate for academically gifted students in Kindergarten through sixth grade, covering humanities, mathematics and sciences, 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.

The various arts courses available are designed to provide students with an opportunity to explore areas of interest and to provide meaningful learning experiences. Recreational activities provide an opportunity to learn new skills or enhance existing talents.

The session at each site is identical in philosophy, purpose and structure. Students are expected to perform within the upper range of their capabilities. Assessments of student performance are an integral part of the program. Final student performance reports are sent to each student’s home by early fall. Upon written request, a copy of this report can be forwarded to the student’s school.
