Truthful to our mission and with the desire to provide a fertile ground for our gifted students to excel, the curriculum at Sage differentiates itself from the traditional curriculum by these criteria:

• The content of curricula focuses on and is organized to include more elaborate, complex, and in-depth study of major ideas, problems, and themes that integrate knowledge within and across systems of thought.
• It allows for the development and application of productive thinking skills to enable students to re-conceptualize existing knowledge and/or generate new knowledge.
• It enables our students to explore constantly changing knowledge and information and develop the attitude that knowledge is worth pursuing in an open world.
• The curriculum encourages an exposure to, selection and use of, appropriate and specialized resources.
• Through the curriculum, we promote self-initiated and self-directed learning and growth.
• Lastly, our curriculum provides for the development of self-understanding and the understanding of one’s relationship to persons, societal institutions, nature, and culture.   – Source

These criteria are the fruit of long lasting research studies on building curriculum for gifted students.
