We have the responsibility as a school district to develop each child’s potential to the greatest of our ability.  We, in Marshfield, serve all kinds of children with special needs including children who are gifted. 

The program for children who are gifted differs from other programs in the following ways: 

The method of teaching is through facilitation. 

The teaching approach emphasizes the integration of the individual to his environment.  It stresses the cognitive, affective, creative, physical and social aspects of dealing with subject matter and the child’s relationship to it. 

The advanced content is approached from a broad based multidisciplinary viewpoint which teaches to analyze and integrate knowledge, theory and affect. 

Utilization of community resources is a vital component of this program. 

Our program is named the Academic Resource Classroom (ARC).
