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.
