Class Overview

G&T classes for Grades 5,6,7 and 8

Grade 6: Are you an inventor, or ever wanted to be one? Now is your chance to find out how the world's best inventions were successful, and how you can also tap into your creativity and invent something new. Thinking caps are required.

Grade 7: We are going to explore the world of Imagineering. How did they create Disneyworld, Universal Studios, Great Adventure and the World's Fairs? We will be studying and creating a playland wonder of our own after studying the models of the greatest entertainment parks of the world.

Grade 8: There are many great competitions designed specifically for your special interests. We will be using our classroom time so that you can compete with the world of extraordinary students locally and nationally.
