Located in the outstanding facilities of Western Technical-Commercial School (WTCS), the Gifted/Enriched Program offers an exciting alternative to regular academic programs.
The courses for the program have been enhanced so that they are appropriate to the needs of the Gifted/Enriched students. This does not necessarily mean a heavier workload. Curriculum material is generally presented at a quicker pace, and with more depth and breadth.
All compulsory credits in the Ontario curriculum are offered as self-contained Gifted/Enriched classes. For example, in Gr.9 students take Math, Science, English, French and Geography in self-contained Gifted/Enriched classes.
Western Tech's Gifted/Enriched Program offers an exciting alternative to regular academic programs. Some of the highlights of our program include:
An enhanced curriculum for students looking for a stimulating academic program
Teachers who are sensitive to the needs of Gifted/Enriched students
A Gifted/Enriched Program Coordinator with dedicated time to work with students
Extra-curricular activities and field trips geared especially to Gifted and Enriched students
