Super K Program for Advanced and Gifted Children Ages 4-6
|
Cyprus Classical Academy has a unique structure that allows for customized school schedules for each student. Young students in Super K enjoy the benefits of a customized school schedule, but also experience the community-building benefits of a kindergarten program. We incorporate a circle time for all Super K students along with dedicated snack time, recess, and lunch. Super K students have the opportunity to create friendships, get to know all of the other students and work on social and team-building skills.
This special 2-year program is for young gifted students ages 4-6-years-old. Arising from the experience of many years of teaching gifted children, we have developed a program to best meet the needs of 4-6-year-olds who are driven to learn, and/or have already climbed off the charts in their academic achievements. Cyprus Classical Academy provides specialized care and instruction for our youngest students while offering the best of the Academy's philosophy and academics with curriculum delivered in an age-appropriate way. |
