While all parents rightfully think their child is exceptional, some children truly are gifted intellectually and benefit from a differentiated type of educational curriculum and teaching style. If you’re looking at homes or other residential real estate for sale in Paradise Valley and you’ve been told your child is gifted, you should consider looking into the Paradise Valley Unified School District’s Self-contained gifted program. The program is currently located at one elementary school, with plans for expansion if there is enough demand.
Paradise Valley’s self-contained gifted program is designed for high-achieving, highly gifted students (generally in the top 3 percent of the population) whose needs may not be met by the other gifted programs offered in the school district. Recognizing that gifted students have unique educational needs, the program lets students approach the learning experience with an expanded curiosity, allowing them to often work two or more years beyond their grade level. Flexibly paced, the program focuses on higher-level thinking skills, individual creativity and problem-solving, but it also keeps the children appropriately socialized through inclusive participation in grade-level special areas, activities and field trips.
With a total enrollment of over 33,000 students, the Paradise Valley district is the seventh largest school district in Arizona. The district’s 98-square-mile boundaries include a significant portion of homes in northeast Phoenix as well as a portion of homes in north Scottsdale, and extend from Seventh Avenue on the west to Pima Road on the east. The southern boundary is Northern Avenue, with the northern boundary being Jomax Road.

We appreciate your including information about the PVUSD gifted program in a recent posting on the blog. The self-contained program at Desert Cove will open in August because we have enough students. I have another flier about all the other gifted programs available to our students. If you can send me an email, I’ll attach the flier for you.
