Teaching Accelerated Learners
Unique Learning for Unique Kids
For gifted kids, the four walls of a classroom can feel like the four sides of a box. Stride K12 and the network of nine California Virtual Academies understand that academically gifted students don't fit into a box—whether it's a classroom or a one-size-fits-all education program. Teaching gifted kids is about challenging their young, talented minds. It's about allowing these students the freedom that comes from flexible, individualized learning approaches, and the challenge that comes from an exceptional, engaging curriculum—both of which we provide.
The Right Curriculum for Accelerated Learners
Here are just a few reasons why the challenging, engaging Stride K12 curriculum our students use works so well for academically gifted kids:
The elementary and middle school curriculum is mastery-based, enabling students to advance when they're ready—not when the rest of the class is.
The high school curriculum includes honors and AP® courses.
World language courses in up to five languages are available to all students.
The approach to learning is flexible and dynamic.
Stride K12 focuses on helping students reach their natural potential.
There is Specialized Advanced Learner Teacher support.
There are many enrichment activities, clubs, and special programs like Lego Robotics, Odyssey of the Mind, and chess—just to name a few.
At the network of the nine California Virtual Academies, gifted kids think and learn out of the box.
