Elementary Zone Challenge Centres

 

In the SD #43 District Zone Challenge Centres, located at Eagle Ridge, Mundy Road and Birchland. Specialist teachers offer approximately 10 morning or afternoon sessions three times a year to students in Grades 3 to 5, identified as gifted as per District and Ministry guidelines. Each Zone Challenge Centre also offers one session per term for Grade K-2 students who may not be formally identified. The purpose of the Challenge Centre sessions is to provide groups of similarly able students with high-level learning opportunities of an intellectual, creative and social nature. These sessions are intended to supplement programs already in place in neighborhood schools and may be included as part of a student's Individual Education Plan. Students are referred to sessions by school-based personnel. Parents arrange transportation.
