Gifted Program at Pecos Cyber Academy

---

 Gifted students at PCA typically exhibit advanced intellectual abilities, creativity, and problem-solving skills. We assess students through a combination of teacher recommendations, standardized testing, and evaluations to ensure they are placed in the appropriate academic track. 

Please reach out to the program specialist of the building your student is in to discuss the evaluation process and what is included in it. 

 A twice-exceptional student is one who is gifted but also has a learning disability, such as dyslexia or ADHD. Our program offers targeted support to help these students succeed both academically and emotionally. 

We offer a variety of virtual clubs and enrichment activities where gifted students can interact with peers who share similar interests. These opportunities help build social connections in a supportive and understanding environment.

 PCA offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses and Dual Enrollment opportunities for high school students, allowing them to earn college credits while still in high school. 

 Yes! Our flexible, asynchronous learning model allows gifted students to work ahead in subjects they excel in, while spending more time on areas they find challenging. 

Parents have access to real-time curriculum materials, progress reports, and communication tools to stay engaged in their child’s learning journey.

Yes, at Pecos Cyber Academy, we offer content acceleration for gifted students in both elementary and middle school. This means that students can move ahead in specific subjects where they demonstrate advanced proficiency, allowing them to continue progressing at a pace that matches their abilities.

Yes, PCA provides honors classes for middle school students. These courses offer more rigorous academic challenges, allowing gifted students to engage in deeper, more complex content and better prepare for advanced coursework in high school. 

Dual credit courses allow high school students to earn both high school and college credits simultaneously. At PCA, gifted students in high school have the opportunity to enroll in these courses, providing them with a head start on their college education while still meeting high school graduation requirements. This is a great way for students to experience college-level coursework and gain valuable academic skills.
