  •  The Gifted Learning Center is a self-contained gifted program for students in grades K-6 @ Sahuaro Elementary School.

    If your child has at least one gifted score in the  95th percentile (gifted) and has a second score above the 90th percentile and a third score above the 80th percentile, he/she is eligible to apply for the K-6th grade Gifted Learning Center (GLC) at Sahuaro Elementary. 

    In this program, students receive instruction at their ability level instead of at grade level. Gifted students thrive in learning environments with faster-paced instruction, choice, project-based learning, and other high-ability gifted learners.
