- Advanced classes in all grades and core subjects. Advanced Performing Arts classes. Acceleration is available.

- While many GT students are very strong in certain subjects, it is common that they may have difficulties in other subjects. We have the flexibility to mix and match advanced core classes and core classes that offer more support to best suite individual student needs.
