How Does Sage Compare

Helping gifted children realize their full potential guides everything we do.

We understand that having a gifted child presents parents with considerable challenge and great responsibility. The Sage School helps families meet the challenge and fulfill that responsibility with unique features virtually unheard of in ordinary school settings:

A blend of innovative techniques, creative programs, and classical teaching.

61% of classroom teachers in the U.S. have no training in gifted and talented education. Faculty at The Sage School understand gifted minds … and are specialists in teaching gifted students. Step into one of our classrooms and you'll find not a departure from classic approaches; but rather, a more robust and flexible implementation of them.

Interactive, inquiry-based learning.

Our experienced teachers - in concert with our low student/teacher ratio - engage students through in-depth discussion, active dialogue, and lively debate.

Careful attention to the grouping, depth, and pacing needs of gifted learners.

We know that gifted children often plunge into a single subject … and that such single-minded focus is not always the most effective approach to learning. That's why we shape our classes and curricula to give gifted children an academic experience that is not only in-depth, but also dimensional, contextual, and meaningful.
