At Skycrest we have a part-time gifted teacher on campus.  After students are identified as gifted, they attend a full day of gifted instruction outside the regular classroom.  

For the new 2024-2025 school year, our gifted students will be clustered in their homeroom class and then go to gifted on their designated day.  

Gifted Teacher:  Liz Auderer

This year's theme:  TBD

The Center for Gifted Studies is designed to meet the unique academic and social/emotional needs of gifted adolescent students. A challenging and rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum is delivered through instructional strategies that promote creative, critical, and complex thinking. Personal strengths and interests are developed through differentiated instruction, independent study, and extracurricular activities. Inquiry and investigation are used as students address relevant, real-world problems.
