SCHOOL FOR ADVANCED STUDIESCastle Heights is designated as a School for Advanced Studies (SAS). All of our teachers have had the 16 hours of additional training and professional development yearly required to meet the needs of Gifted and High Achieving students. The SAS program is not run separately from the school as a whole, but rather it is integrated into the work done in every classroom, so that every child benefits from a more challenging learning experience. Children who have been designated as academically gifted are motivated to work to their potential through work that is infused with Depth and Complexity.
