Is there a place for gifted students in the Montessori classroom?
New Gate School programs are designed so that each student can reach his/her highest potential. We often have students who work above their grade level in a subject or many subjects. Students who come to New Gate School in our Secondary program must be enthusiastic about learning to succeed in the program. We believe we best serve students who are motivated to learn, who are willing to design some of their own learning experiences, and who are capable of accepting the responsibilities connected with their education, including developing and using effective organizational and time management skills. Students in our learning environment need to have the maturity and skills to handle an environment where there is a great deal of freedom and corresponding responsibilities. Parents of students must commit to supporting their child’s full participation in the academic work, the experiential learning activities, and the social community of the program.
