Highly Capable Programs

As the district has grown, so have our efforts to meet the needs of highly capable students at all levels.

The Camas School District offers three unique programs for highly capable students in grades three through eight as well as honors and advanced placement classes at the secondary level. Menu items to the left contain brief descriptions of these programs by level.

Program Goals

• To identify students who have high intellectual, academic and creative thinking ability

• To provide differentiated instruction appropriate to the needs of highly capable students

• To provide an intellectual peer group for participating students.

• To provide teacher training to maximize teacher effectiveness

• To provide a quality program for eligible students at their neighborhood school
