Gifted and Talented Program

Gifted and Talented Program at Lynnwood School

Lynnwood School is proud to be a Division site for the Gifted and Talented program, designed to meet the unique learning needs of high-ability students who have been formally identified through the CCAT7 and/or psychoeducational assessments conducted by a registered psychologist.

Students in the Gifted and Talented Program continue to follow the Alberta Program of Studies, while diving deeper into concepts through an inquiry-based lens. Many gifted learners tend to grasp concepts quickly and require programming that matches their pace, depth of thinking, and intellectual curiosity.

At Lynnwood School, our Gifted and Talented students are programmed the following way:

• Gifted and Talented students in Grades 1-2 are integrated within mainstream classrooms in the mornings, with afternoon enrichment pull-out sessions that explore a range of concepts through an inquiry-based approach.
• Gifted and Talented students in Grades 3-6 are placed in dedicated Gifted and Talented classrooms, where enrichment learning is intentionally embedded within the regular program of studies.

Benefits of the Gifted and Talented Program:

• Develops independence, self-direction, and leadership skills
• Builds strong critical and creative thinking abilities
• Encourages a love of learning and intellectual risk-taking
• Prepares students for success in various pathways

If you are looking for a program that challenges and inspires your child to think deeply, ask big questions, and engage meaningfully with their learning — the Gifted and Talented program at Lynnwood School may be the right fit.
