Teaching Accelerated Learners

For gifted kids, the four walls of a classroom can feel like the four sides of a box. K¹² and ORVA 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.

Here are just a few reasons why the challenging, engaging K¹² curriculum our students use works so well for academically gifted kids:

• The K-8 curriculum is mastery-based, enabling students to advance when they're ready—not when the rest of the class is.
• World language courses in up to five languages are available to all students.
• The approach to learning is flexible and dynamic.
• K¹² focuses on helping students reach their natural potential.

At ORVA, gifted kids think and learn out of the box.
