ACE Academy is an independent, private school that offers gifted programming from K to 8th grade.
Established in 2005, ACE Academy educates an underserved community of learners in Austin, Texas.
A commonly accepted statistic is that gifted learners are those who score in the top 5% of IQ tests.
A GT student can vary radically in specific abilities or areas (asynchronous development).
Because GT children process information differently from the average student, they need a learning environment flexible enough to meet and encourage these differences.
Their unique ways of thinking are assets that must be valued and encouraged, or they may be suppressed, hidden, or lost.
