Highly Capable
In the Mount Vernon School District, we believe it is important to develop the special abilities of each student and to offer appropriate academic instructional services to meet the needs of highly capable students. Our goal is to offer services that:
* expand academic and intellectual skillls;
* stimulate intellectual curiousity, independence and responsibility;
* develop perseverance and understanding of the role of effort in success;
* develop a positive attitude toward self and others; and
* develop originality and creativity.
