Gifted Program Overview
The University Scholars Program, within the PA Leadership Charter School (PALCS), offers specialized gifted education curriculum. Only PALCS students may apply for participation in this high performance/high achievement Program. The Program is designed to maximize the intellectual potential of gifted and motivated learners, where individual achievement is valued and supported.
Admission to the University Scholars Program is performance-based and highly competitive. Students must not only be academically gifted but also have demonstrated a high degree of motivation and superior classroom performance. Middle school course work is commensurate with what a student would get at a public high school in rigor and content, while it is also designed to meet the maturity of the students. High school coursework is largely college level, including many Advanced Placement (AP) College Board approved courses. Students must demonstrate the intellectual ability and motivation to handle this level of coursework in order to be considered eligible to participate in the Program.
Students who qualify for this level of rigorous coursework may participate in the University Scholars Program either from home in a purely cyber environment or via a cyber-blended classroom at the Advanced Ideas Center.
PALCS students may also participate in up to two University Scholars Advanced Placement (AP) cyber courses without enrolling in the University Scholars Program. Placement in these courses is determined by the PALCS Guidance Department and/or the University Scholars Program. Individual AP course prerequisites must be met.
