Gifted children have the right to an educational environment that meets their unique and challenging needs. When compared with children their age, these students display advanced abilities in general intellectual aptitude, which may be exhibited in specific domains such as creativity, language, mathematics, or science. Gifted children have the ability to learn at faster rates and in greater depth, to find and solve problems more readily, and to understand, manipulate, and connect abstract or seemingly unrelated ideas. These abilities, combined with their intellectual curiosity, emotional intensity, moral sensitivity, playful creativity, and unique learning styles engender the need for a differentiated educational program.
The goals of Ricks Center include the following:
Provide an exemplary program for gifted young people, promoting academic excellence and emphasizing individual development.
Fill a unique need in the community for differentiated educational programming for gifted young people.
Attract and support an ethnically and socio-economically diverse student body and faculty.
Offer parents and families ongoing support and education regarding the growth and development of gifted children and adults.
Stand as a national model in gifted education.
