The Wisconsin Center for Gifted Learners provides services for
intellectually gifted learners who have a need to fulfill their
potential. The WCGL understands that gifted learners require
like-level peer interaction in order to develop social skills,
leadership abilities, and self-acceptance. WCGL programs are based
on an amalgamation of theory and research, and curriculum is
designed by Center Staff to address the unique needs of gifted
learners. The Center offers two primary programs for children: the
Developing Dimensions Program, a Saturday and summer program
designed to augment and complement the regular schooling of gifted
learners; and the Magellan Day School, EPL, the Early Preparatory
Learning Program that offers a day school designed specifically for
highly intelligent learners. Both programs recognize that gifted
learners require a true peer group in order to fully develop in
terms of using their abilities, taking charge of their capabilities
and accepting and dealing with the connections between effort and
advancements.

areas for its full time students:
- science and technology;
