Gifted children process information differently than the average student. Their unique ways of thinking must be valued and encouraged; or their gifts and talents may be suppressed, hidden or lost.
Gifted students can vary radically in specific abilities or areas (asynchronous development). They need a flexible learning environment that allows freedom to discover their higher functioning areas and which still is structured enough to require adequate understanding within their lower functioning areas, encouraging their unique learning process.
Our goal at Riddle Street Montessori is not to apply a label, but to meet the specific needs of these children. Our methods are based on the teaching techniques of Maria Montessori and the work of educational theorists Jean Piaget, Erik H. Erickson, Joseph S. Renzulli and Benjamin S. Bloom.
