Summit: Gifted Education Program
Hendersons' Summit Gifted Education Program is a supportive program for gifted and 2E primary aged students, that provides an environment to engage in interest-based projects tailored to their unique learning styles.
Our program fills a crucial gap in the educational journey of gifted and 2E learners, by offering a nurturing environment that celebrates uniqueness and teaches essential Executive Functioning skills for the future.
