Philosophy

Educational opportunities for gifted students should foster their uniques abilities and/or talents. Studies show that it is important for these students to interact with others of similar talents and/or abilities as well as with their chronological peers. The ALP structure allows cognitively gifted students to meet other students from Parma, Parma Heights, and Seven Hills.
