These include general intellectual ability, specific academic aptitude, creative and productive thinking, leadership, fine and performing arts and psychomotor talents.

Application and elaboration of cognitive, artistic, and psycho-social abilities and talents are the goals encouraged. Independent study and projects, mentorships and internships with community businesses, industries, and facilities are integral aspects of this highly individualized secondary school program.
