PHILOSOPHY
My Spectrum Center/School’s philosophy promotes the belief that each child exhibits a unique
profile of different abilities, or spectrum of intelligences based on Gardner’s (1983, 1999) Theory
of Multiple Intelligences and Harvard University Project Spectrum (1994) research. My
Spectrum School recognizes a constellation of eight distinct intelligences to include linguistic,
logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, bodily-kinesthetic, and
naturalist. These intelligences are not fixed but pliable resulting from a complex interaction of
heredity and environment and shaped within a social cultural context that defines giftedness.
APPROACH
My Spectrum Center/School identifies a child’s areas of strengths and applies this information to
compose an individualized cognitive profile as a formula to nurture these strengths or gifts.
Within stimulating academic laboratories, students engage in a variety of activities both
independently and collaboratively in small groups. Through interaction with materials and
hands-on project based learning, students create products for exhibition. Educators direct
student development and cultivate students’ interests and needs to instill a lifelong love of
learning. My Spectrum Center invites its members to positively perceive children as flexible,
accelerated, curious, imaginative, sensitive individuals who invent, collaborate, and
communicate with educators,parents and peers.
