High Potential and Gifted Education

...“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”... ― Plutarch

The Learning Enrichment and Acceleration Pathways (LEAP), is a dynamic program introduced to Toronto High School in 2013. The aim of the program is to develop the talent of high potential and gifted students with a particular emphasis on academic achievement.

LEAP provides integrated learning experiences to enable meaningful and deep engagement through project-based learning and future focused skills such as critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration. There is a strategic focus on embedding technology into learning. A 1:1 iPad initiative is a fundamental component of access to technology in the program where students engage in learning through a range of online environments.

LEAP actively promotes excellence in education by providing differentiated curriculum to maximise opportunities for enrichment and acceleration. Students are provided with a range of opportunities enabling them to confidently rise to challenges and develop the skills of self-regulated, independent learning.

The Learning Enrichment and Acceleration Pathways program is the local answer for parents wanting to access a quality high school environment for students currently attending Year 6 Opportunity Classes or applying for a Selective High School Placement.

To register your interest in this limited and innovative educational opportunity please complete the Expression of Interest form and return to the school. Please note that the EOI form will become available during Term1 of each school year.
