Direct instruction by qualified personnel is given in a way that addresses students’ individual needs and learning styles.

The mission of the Lenox Gifted and Talented program is to provide challenging and enriching opportunities for exceptional students in the intellectual, creative, visual, and performing arts domains. Gifted and talented students must receive experiences that incorporate meaningful learning objectives and capitalize on student choice, high-level thinking/questioning, deeper learning, and real world skills. In offering differentiated curriculum in the regular classroom as well as specialized enrichment activities and/or acceleration, all gifted and talented students are challenged, and their individualized needs are met.
Title Reading
Title Reading is a supplemental program that supports students in grades k-6 with reading skills. Students that qualify for title will receive regular instruction in the classroom and additional support during our Tiger Block Intervention time. The goal is to increase reading fluency and comprehension and to develop a strong foundation in reading skills.

Our Title Math program serves students in grades K-6, much the same as our Title Literacy program, with an emphasis on developing mathematic skills appropriate to the grade level and readiness of the student. The program allows for additional time and support for students to develop necessary math skills in a small-group, targeted lesson format. When a student qualifies for this service, parents are notified via a letter and permission slip for the service.

Students who are four years-old by September 15th are eligible for preschool services during the accompanying school year.

Busing to registered daycares is available during the midday transition and traditional busing routes are available to preschool students before or after school. Students are assessed with the GOLD assessment and follow the IQPPS (Iowa Quality Preschool Program Standards).
