Welcome to Laureate School
At Laureate School for the Gifted and Talented we know that gifted students have unique and diverse academic needs. We offer exceptional students an alternative to traditional schools and an opportunity to become part of a thriving online community that partakes in a differentiated, intellectually demanding curriculum through distance learning.
Laureate School for the Gifted and Talented offers gifted students an intellectually demanding curriculum in preparation for admission to a prestigious college or university.
Our goal is to nurture the intellectual abilities and enhance the personal development of gifted youth by providing a learning environment that caters to the specific abilities and needs of brilliant young minds.
“There persists in all of us a thirst for imaginative refreshment that cannot be satisfied by the glut of 'hard facts.' The need lingers, particularly in the minds of gifted students, for more creative awakening and uplifting. In addition to spirits that need nourishing, we all have hearts that need touching, and minds needing expanding. If gifted students aren't helped to pursue that fringe of light showing just over the outer edge of their knowledge they may well turn to unsatisfying alternatives. When imagination is ignored, compassion, and humaneness diminish with it. Developing the creative mind should be a mandate of any gifted program.”
