Students start their day in an advisory period where they meet with a teacher who helps that student develop practical skills for success. Advisory teachers are responsible for everything from attendance to checking homework. Teachers foster a culture of open communication with parents to ensure a joint effort towards supporting student success.

Throughout the day, students follow a period-by-period schedule that teaches math and reading skills using Project Based Learning environments. This practice is an ideal instructional method for a wide range of students who learn best with multi-modal (visual, auditory, and tactile) instruction.

During the academic year, each student is required to complete 40 hours of volunteer (unpaid) hours. The purpose of this activity is to positively impact an effort in a way that best supports the students passions and learning needs. Eligible activities include chores in the homes, charitable organizatons, neighborhood clean-ups, community support, and more.

These services are included in a student IEP, or can be considered for future you and added later to an IEP. These services include:

• Speech & Language Therapy – assesses and treats speech disorders and communication problems. Aids in development of skills like comprehension, clarity, voice, fluency and sound production.
• Occupational Therapy – addresses the physical, cognitive, psychosocial and sensory componenents of perfomance. Special focus on academics, play and lesiure, social participation, self-care skills, and transition/work skills.
• Social Work Support – helps students, families, and teachers address problems like truancy, social withdrawal, aggressive behavior, social skills, and more.

According to the New Mexico Public Education Department, a “gifted child” is a school-age person whose intellectual ability paired with subject matter aptitude and achievement, creativity and divergent thinking, or problem-solving and critical thinking meets the eligibility criteria in the New Mexico Administrative Code and for whom a properly constituted IEP team determines that special education services are required to meet the child’s educational needs.
