For the past two years, St. Andrew’s has been unable to offer a grade 9 gifted program. The simple reason, there wasn’t enough students to qualify for a staff member. In 2012-2013, the required number of gifted students in order to qualify for a teacher and run a program has increased substantially. We have been told by the special education department that we will not be runnning a grade 9 gifted program at St. Andrew’s in 2012-2013. We know that there has been some interest demonstrated by parents for next year, but unfortunately, it will not be offered at St. Andrew’s. If you have any further questions, plese feel free to contact Mr. Howard or Ms. Drape.
