Do you have a child that is classified as gifted and talented? If you do, you have some sense as to how difficult it can be to find a school that serves your child’s unique needs. Up to now, there really was only the small program at Stanford University for those students and admission is incredibly difficult.

Laurel Springs School, long a home for gifted and talented students, has seen that need and has moved to fill it with its brand-new Laureate School for the Gifted and Talented.

You should bear in mind that Laurel Springs School is already in that top-tier of online high schools. Adding a program such as this will provide an even better home for the students who have always gone to LSS.

I recently had the opportunity to interview Dennis Rice, director of Laureate School. He offers a unique perspective on how the school came to be.
