LEAP Program Overview

LCMS is committed to an educational program that recognizes individual student differences, abilities, interests, and needs. Our goal is to enrich the education of all students through curriculum and activities designed to expose them to a variety of challenging and higher-order critical and creative thinking experiences. We are committed to the differentiation for our gifted and high-achieving students in order to to help them maximize their high potential and allow them to thrive, flourish, and create. Curriculum differentiation is incorporated to provide flexibility in instruction. Strategies used may include, in-depth study, high degree of complexity, advanced content, variety in content, process and/or product, acceleration of instruction, Project Based Learning, and much more! In addition, LEAP students have the opportunity to earn more than five high school credit classes by the end of their 8th-grade year.
