School Notes
The Grayson School provides gifted children a challenging,
research-based education worthy of their intellect and their
intrinsic desire to learn and think deeply. We serve as a valued
resource for the gifted education community in Philadelphia and
nationwide.
Our philosophy is built on principles proven to generate
meaningful educational benefits for gifted children. A long
and continually-growing body of research and classroom experience
suggests our model of differentiation, ability grouping,
enrichment, and flexibility, with increasing levels of advanced,
abstract, and complex curriculum that respond to each individual
learner`s needs. In the hands of highly-trained teachers leading
small classes, these elements create a challenging and fulfilling
learning environment for highly gifted students.
We recognize that exceptional ability knows no boundaries, yet
that inequitable access to resources may prevent gifted students
who are disadvantaged from reaching their potential. Providing
adequate and appropriate resources, and identifying and meeting the
needs of all our students is central to our mission.
Through culturally responsive instruction and ongoing
opportunities for interaction with diverse peers, both within the
school and the broader community, a Grayson education will promote
the citizenship development, social awareness, complexity of
thinking, and communication skills essential for our students to
thrive in an increasingly multicultural nation and global
economy.
