Junior Grade! we are also adding a Teen High School Program

What is the Junior Grade?   Junior grade is a special grade for gifted and precocious children ages 4, 5, or 6 for whom placement in a regular Kindergarten may result in a traumatic or stressful learning experience due to the following risk factors:
     1.  the child already reads

     2.  the child is emotionally sensitive

     3.  the child is cognitively advanced and would not have a social peer group
     4.  the child would not do well in a large class setting due to overexcitabilities. 

At Baywood Learning Center Junior Grade students may work at any grade level in accordance with their ability regardless of the number of grade skips involved. Even though they may advance to several grade levels ahead academically, they will get to stay in their appropriate peer group.  By allowing the students to advance at a pace that is comfortable and safe, the student is not put into the stressful situation of feeling as though they need to hide their abilities.  This is especially important for gifted girls, who are more suseptible to the social pressure to "fit  in", and frequently start to hide their gifts, tragically, this can cause permanent loss in educational potential.
