ALPHA Intermediate Curriculum 
In the fall of 2008, the ALPHA students will study Biomes.  They will study the biomes of the desert, rainforest, tundra, taiga, grasslands, and deciduous forests.

ALPHA Intermediate Program

In this enrichment program for students in grades three through five, the Gifted and Talented resource teacher meets with qualified students three to five hours per week to work in small groups in the ALPHA resource room.

Multi-disciplinary, process-centered mini-studies are offered to students. In designing these studies, careful attention is paid to student interests and to the unique learning characteristics and needs of students in the program.

The ALPHA resource center is equipped with various types of learning materials and supplies. Students participate actively in the learning and have the flexibility to "try out" unique ideas.

So long as students are successful in the GT program and progress well in their academic endeavors, they may continue in the gifted and talented programs through the 12th grade.
