About the program
Program Objective
This program aims to expose gifted students to advanced learning experiences that are broader and deeper than those provided in their regular schools, in order to motivate them to discover more concepts in mathematics and science, and to unleash their latent energies, and this is done in an additional period of time outside of official school hours.
This program will provide gifted students with in-depth learning opportunities that enrich their school programs by teaching them the gifted curricula in science and mathematics, which were designed in cooperation with foreign and Arab expertise houses, most of which were built in a manner consistent with the curricula of the Ministry of Education, so as to challenge the abilities of gifted students. They are taught by specialized teachers who are able to meet the needs and interests of gifted students.
