Best in Class Moorestown: Excellence Gap is Growing

At the federal level in the United States, policy makers have focused on implementing state standards to ensure students are reaching proficiency levels, particularly in reading and math. Over the past several years, proficiencies have improved across the nation, but the focus on this category has yielded the unintentional neglect of gifted students –those who are already beyond proficiency and have the capacity to further their studies.

A recent study released by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation assigned grades to each state rating their policies for academically talented children, and the results are nothing short of dismal. Not a single state received an A, while the majority received a D. Clearly this is an area where schools are lacking; if you have a child who is academically gifted, it’s likely going to be necessary to supplement their education with a program designed to help them reach their full potential. Not properly challenging a gifted student can be just as detrimental to the education process as neglecting a child who needs help in one area or another.

It’s important to identify as early as possible if your child should be tested for admission into a gifted program, or if he or she should be working on coursework at a higher grade level to match their current learning capacity.

Here are some common signs that your child may be academically gifted:

• Began writing and reading very early
• Appears to have what most people would refer to as a photographic memory
• Is highly critical of oneself; shows early signs of perfectionism
• Has a keen eye for small details other children at the same grade level tend to miss
• Is musically or artistically talented

At Best in Class Education Center, we specialize in helping to evaluate your students’ strengths and weaknesses through individualized assessments.

If your child’s school offers a gifted program, we offer services to help your child prepare for the gifted program acceptance exams at select locations. All of our locations can provide you with a custom, supplemental curriculum for your student that adheres to his or her current learning capacity. Where students may not be receiving an adequate challenge through their daily coursework, we are able to supplement their education with assignments and practical exercises so that they can be prompted to reach their full potential.

For the past 20 years, Best in Class Education Center (Best in Class) has not only served as a brand name but as the ultimate model and standard for success in the educational field.

Aligning with its commitment as a top-tier educational program, all Best in Class educators must have college educations in their individual field of instruction, which is not a requirement at competing educational centers.
