Program Description

The School for Advanced Studies (SAS) is an option designed to support and expand Gifted/Talented Programs in schools throughout the District. The School for Advanced Studies Demonstration Sites provide high-level academic programs to serve the educational needs of gifted and high achieving learners.

The Accelerated Studies Program has been implemented to meet the needs of gifted and talented students throughout our campus inline with programs offered in other schools in Los Angeles Unified School District. It establishes an articulated program at the elementary school, middle school, and senior high school levels. The Accelerated Studies Program is designed to expand student assessment and identification and to offer a differentiated instructional program. Gifted learners perform at remarkably high levels when assessed in comparison with others of their age/grade peers. Highly able learners should receive careful attention and differentiated program planning to ensure that their knowledge and skills are extended. Exceedingly high numbers of gifted and potentially gifted students in the have resulted in a critical need to expand options for appropriate instructional programs to match their levels of learning.

Counseling and Guidance Outcomes

The guidance/counseling process is a product of the collaborative efforts of teachers, administrators, support personnel, specialists, and parents. Everyone who lives or works with the gifted child often serves one or more functions in the guidance/counseling program for maximal effectiveness.
