The school-wide cluster model, as identified by Winebrenner & Brulles 2008, will be utilized. A general education teacher at your child's home school will teach clustered grade-level classes. The cluster gifted model is available at all schools. The cluster teacher provides differentiated instruction in the way of an enriched curriculum that is more challenging and offers extension activities, and/or independent research projects. Projects require higher-order and creative thinking skills. Gifted services are provided throughout the day.

The multi-age gifted classroom serves 4th-8th students in a self-contained setting at the Westar school campus. Selection is based on a primary area of giftedness with a score of 97 or better on at least one area (verbal, nonverbal, or quantitative) on the Cognitive Abilities Test. The multi-age classroom groups gifted-only students to provide an alternate setting to the cluster gifted classrooms to ensure highly gifted student needs are met. Gifted instruction is provided throughout the day. Students may attend some classes with other non-gifted students throughout the day.
