South Orangetown Middle School

Gifted & Talented Services

Students are grouped in small clusters in ELA, Social Studies, Science and Mathematics classes. The classroom teachers working with the Gifted/Talented teacher and other consultants develop curriculum-related activities and projects designed to challenge the abilities of these students.

Project-Based Class: Challenge Lab

The Challenge Lab offers students an opportunity either to choose an independent project or to join an academic competition. Students who were identified for gifted services at the elementary level are invited to participate. Other students who are interested are welcome to join. Students, teachers or parents can nominate/request that a student be included. Classes concentrate on the following areas of interest: problem solving, creative writing, word study, history and/or research.
