How SAGE Can Help You Select a School For Your Gifted Student
If your student has been identified as gifted, you're likely considering finding the appropriate school to challenge your student and more fully develop his or her talents. Finding this school fit can be stressful and confusing. It is often difficult to find objective ways to compare different school offerings. SAGE staff are familiar with the variety of gifted schools, public and private. We also support you in finding independent schools that have excellent programs for the highly gifted student. We will provide you an objective recommendation based on your student's abilities and preferences.

By conversing with Ulcca, parents gain valuable insight into the diversity of school models and which ones may be the most honoring fit for their gifted child.

“When we were searching for a solution for our gifted son and daughter, Renu’s compassion and knowledge helped us to place them in a school environment that ended up being incredibly nurturing and academically challenging. Now high schoolers, our children continue to thrive intellectually, socially and emotionally, and I recommend Renu for her insight into how to address and balance the myriad needs of gifted students.”
