Resource withdrawal and enrichment programs are provided for Grades 4 to 8 students identified as intellectually gifted. The Sudbury Catholic District School Board is very proud to afford its gifted students a very challenging and dynamic enrichment withdrawal program encompassing a wide range of activities focusing on critical, analytical and creative thinking.

Full Year Calendar 2007/2008 (including letters of invitation)

Giftedness is formally defined as 'an usually advanced degree of general intellectual ability that requires differentiated learning experiences of a depth and breadth beyond those normally provided in the regular school program to satisfy the level of educational potential indicated'. Students are tested in grade 4, and where applicable begin the formal identification placement and review process described in the SCDSB Parent's Guide to Special Education.

The goals of the SCDSB Gifted Program are:

  • to challenge intellectual abilities
  • to develop independent learning skills and an appreciation of the learning process to stimulate new interests
  • to allow for in-depth investigation of teacher/self-selected topics within a certain area of study
  • to encourage and broaden the development of self-understanding
  • to afford students the stimulation of their intellectual peers
