| Education designed specifically for gifted and talented students. A school that’s welcoming, yet challenging. An approach that’s nurturing, yet rigorous. A place where bright young people develop not only their intellect, but also their leadership skills, artistic talents and athletic capability.
The Rhoades School is not just a school that offers a gifted and talented program. From the structure of our curriculum to our personalized teaching approach, everything we do is designed to meet the unique needs and passions of gifted students.
Observe our outdoor morning flag ceremony, a typical class or one of our many after school activities, and you’ll discover a place where ideas are eagerly discussed and developed.
You’ll find a vibrant, welcoming place where a challenging curriculum is balanced by a warm and supportive atmosphere. At The Rhoades School, gifted children reach their full social and academic potential. Our mission is to nurture the development of gifted students from kindergarten through eighth grade. We balance a challenging curriculum with an added emphasis on social development, and are guided by four basic principles: - We teach our students how to think, not what to think.
- How we teach is as important as what we teach.
- We work to instill a sense of healthy competition, collaboration and confidence.
- Satisfying our students’ hunger for learning is more important than standardized test scores.
The Rhoades School is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and is a member of the International Society of Technology in Education and the National Association for Gifted Children. |
