Empowering Gifted Learners to Excel and Thrive
At AcademyACL, we are dedicated to providing a supportive environment where gifted students can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.
We support students as they grow into leaders, advocates, and life-long learners by intentionally giving opportunities to practice those skills.
Our Lifeskills curriculum addresses the social-emotional needs of our students, from executive functioning skills to developing interpersonal relationships to being of service to the community.
Flexible, ability-based, multi-age classes allow students to learn and grow alongside their "idea-mates" while exploring Big Ideas such as Power, Structure, Change, and Relationship.

Our approach to gifted education centers around understanding and nurturing the distinct developmental needs and talents of gifted children. It's not just about academic growth, but also their emotional, social, and ethical development. We believe in recognizing the individuality of each child, providing them with an environment where their unique abilities can flourish.
AcademyACL is a member of the Child-Centered Gifted Consortium, with members world-wide. The Consortium created a document that defines Child-Centered Gifted Education. This document illustrates AcademyACL's approach to the students we serve and our commitment to educating the whole child.
The AcademyACL Governing Board adopted the Child-Centered Gifted Education philosophy as a guiding framework for our approach to gifted education.
