How does Ambleside challenge the gifted child?
Our books contain rich vocabulary and complex ideas. We cover over 16 subjects a week in each grade. The curriculum at Ambleside is challenging for students and adults alike. We do not define our students by their gifted areas because our focus is to educate the whole person, both strengths and weaknesses. We do not advance students if they are gifted in a particular area, but we do have many resources and strategies to challenge them in the classroom. Ambleside is founded on the belief that all children have the ability to take something from the rich feast of ideas offered by our curriculum; if the food for the mind is nourishing and abundant, the gifted mind will flourish all the more.
