Giftedness is a brain-based difference that means our gifted students experience the world differently and sometimes more intensely.

For the beginning of the school year, our gifted students are reading books about the brain and giftedness so they can understand their own brains and how they learn. Students in the Gifted Learning Center started reading "Your Amazing Brain" and creating neurons.

Gifted students at John Jacobs are learning brain vocabulary and thinking of questions to ask a real brain surgeon who will speak to them.
