Ricks Center for Gifted Children
Curious, intense, creative, persistent; an acute sense of justice; a keen sense of humor; opinionated and independent; sensitive and perceptive are all words and phrases that describe gifted children.
A promising mind needs both great care and extraordinary nourishment, especially in a child. The curriculum at the Ricks Center is designed to address the whole child, including his or her emotional, intellectual, aesthetic, physical and social needs.
We educate from the philosophy that learning should occur from the child up rather than the adult down.
