Lower Dauphin provides both enrichment and acceleration opportunities for elementary students identified as gifted.
During enrichment opportunities, students explore in-depth themes, work on independent projects, practice higher-order thinking skills, and discuss social issues. Primary grade level USA classes meet together and study units that rotate on a three-year basis. Upper grade level classes are combined for units that rotate every two years.
Acceleration opportunities occur in various academic areas and extra-curricular extension activities as deemed appropriate by the student's GIEP team.
