We can, whenever and wherever we choose, successfully teach all children whose schooling is of interest to us. We already know more than we need to do this. Whether we do it must finally depend on how we feel about the fact that we haven’t so far."L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted (LHSTG) is designed to support academic acceleration by providing personalized support, authentic assessment, and school-wide differentiated, learning activities. We believe that every child who demonstrates the capability for high achievement in intellectual areas, specific academic fields, areas of creativity, art, or leadership and who needs services and activities not satisfactorily provided by their school district, deserves an opportunity to learn in this type of educational environment where students will be given the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities and unique gifts.
Ron Edmonds
We believe that all children are entitled to receive a comprehensive education that meets the needs for all types of learners. Colangelo, Assouline and Gross (2004) argued in their national research- based report (A Nation Deceived: How Schools Hold Back America’s Brightest Students), “America’s schools routinely avoid academic acceleration, the easiest and most effective way to help highly capable students.”
All children should receive a challenge appropriate to their preparedness and motivation.
