    Our Highly Capable/Quest programs offer accelerated and enhanced instructional opportunities to students who have been identified as highly capable. Our programs are designed to meet the needs of our highly capable learners by providing services and instruction beyond the scope of the general education classroom. 

    A highly capable learner is defined by the state of Washington as a “student who has been assessed to have superior intellectual ability as demonstrated by one or more…multiple criteria.” Our Program uses both cognitive and academic performance data to determine a student’s highly capable eligibility.

    • Enrichment and extension of academic and intellectual skill;
    • Stimulation of intellectual curiosity, independence and responsibility; 
    • Acceleration and enrichment of content to meet student learning needs; and 
    • Development of advanced critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills through the lens of local and global citizenship
