Educational Description
The school is organized as a traditional K-6 school with self-contained classrooms and some classroom switching for reading and mathematics in the intermediate grades. Students are provided with specialized instruction in vocal and instrumental music, physical education and science. Students with learning disabilities and those who are learning english as their second language receive individualized instruction as needed from the E.L.L. and Special Ed departments.

Our full time librarian and many parent volunteers provide higher level instructions to small groups from various grade levels.

School Wide Enrichment Model
Chelsea Heights meets the needs of gifted/talented students in several ways. Teachers have received specialized training in compacting and/or accelerating the curriculum for more able students. The designated teacher, as G/T coordinator, has been trained to provide a more personalized and challenging program of study for academically advance students at Chelsea Heights. Many programs originally designed for G/T students, such as Continental Math League and Wordmasters, are offered to all students at various grade levels.

The Gifted/Talented program provides a wide variety of enrichment activities for the whole school and for individual grade levels and/or classrooms, as well as for a smaller group of identified students. Students work in pull-out groups in a resource room with a gifted/talented teacher. All G/T classes aim to introduce new challenges and stretch thinking skills, and include writing, accelerated math, problem-solving, and visual-spatial challenges.
