The Jacobson Gifted Program is designed to challenge the gifted student through a multi-dimensional teaching approach involving special curricula, enrichment and the acceleration of course content.  

The ultimate goal of the program is to develop within the student a desire for excellence and a sense of individual responsibility to the school community and to a changing society.  Our JGP teachers accomplish this in a variety of ways: 

• Support mastery of core areas at an accelerated pace incorporating complexity and depth appropriate for gifted learners.

• Develop proficiency in communication abstract and complex ideas, relationships and issues.

• Develop inquiry skills at a level of complexity, abstractness and depth appropriate for gifted learners.

• Develop the skills of critical and creative thinking, problem solving and decision making at a level of complexity, abstractness and depth appropriate for gifted learners.

• Develop understanding of concepts, themes and issues fundamental to the discipline and to develop an appreciation for the interrelationships among the disciplines.
