    Gifted students benefit from an educational setting in which they experience a sense of belonging and support.

    • Rainard provides a warm and accepting atmosphere in which students, families, faculty and staff can support each other.
    • Differences are embraced and students encourage, inspire, and motivate one another through regular engagement and interaction.
    • The environment fosters personal responsibility, empathy, ethical behavior, productive citizenship and mutual respect.
    • Students are encouraged to find meaningful ways to serve both the school and the greater community.

    Many gifted students are asynchronous learners and have intense interests that require an individualized approach to their education.

    • Small class sizes, low student/teacher ratio, multi-age/multi-grade classrooms and personalized instruction is designed to meet the needs of each learner.
    • Academic, social and emotional needs are nurtured through our school’s intimate setting, through curriculum that emphasizes responsibility and caring and through the interactive nature of our indoor and outdoor spaces.
    • We celebrate and reinforce the student’s own interests through experiential and problem-based learning tailored to the individual.

    The divergent and multimodal thinking of gifted students creates an intense desire for exploration and in-depth knowledge.

    • Rainard supports student inquiry through engaging learning experiences; such as frequent field trips, self-directed projects and collaboration with peers.
    • Rainard emphasizes critical thinking through creative and innovative problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills and information literacy.
    • The Rainard program develops leadership skills, encourages character-building experiences and promotes a lifelong joy of learning.
