We are focused on the education and well being of gifted students and their families. Based on best practices from Expeditionary Learning Education, and Project-Based Learning, Helios delivers a rigorous, experiential curriculum with an emphasis on social-emotional learning. Our school is suffused with a thoughtful, compassionate culture where out-of-the-box thinking is celebrated. We provide a truly compelling and compassionate education for gifted students, helping them harness their talents and grow into confident, caring, competent individuals. Why Helios? Giftedness isn't a talent or high achievement; it isn't a function of how children perform, but rather who they are. Their cognitive and emotional makeup is different from the norm, and they have a strong intellectual drive to learn - which can make it difficult for them to thrive in a traditional classroom where classes are too easy or rote. Helios provides: 1. True Peers - Where gifted children can feel free to be themselves. 2. Differentiated Learning - Ensuring that they are challenged and supported in every area. 3. Authentic Learning - Less repetition and more depth and complexity in a curriculum that is relevant to their everyday lives. 4. Social / Emotional Learning - Helping them emerge prepared for the challenges of high school and beyond. We invite you to discover Helios' program and to use the resources we have assembled here. We wish you the best in your search.
