Gifted instruction is given daily in the regular classroom where opportunities for differentiated instruction, problem solving, compacting, student directed projects, and cooperative learning are the norm. Field trips to Space Camp, Jekyll Island and even to Europe enhance the KMS experience. It's a great time to be a KMS High Achiever!
