Super K: A Community for Advanced and Gifted Children Ages 4-6
|
This special community is designed for young gifted students who are 4 and 5 years old on September 1st of the current school year. Arising from the experience of many years of teaching gifted children, we have developed a way to best meet the needs of young students 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.
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 that come with having a home-base classroom. As a group, Super K students participate in circle time, Chinese class, a dedicated snack time, recess, and lunch. Most Super K students also are together for history, science, art, and PE classes. |
