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. 

Thank you for your interest in Ricks Center for your child or children for the 2010-2011 school year.  We would like to invite you to attend one of our upcoming information sessions.  These sessions are designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the needs of gifted children and the ways in which the curriculum developed at Ricks Center meets those needs.  Sessions will include an overview of the program, a tour of the school, and the opportunity to ask questions of teachers and administrators.
