Imagine a school.. in which all children excel to high levels, regardless of their background. Imagine a school that treats all children as gifted and builds on their strengths through enrichment strategies, independent research, problem solving, science, writing, music, and art. Imagine a school in which all members of the school community develop a vision of their ideal school and in which they collaborate to achieve that dream by making major decisions about curriculum, instructional strategies and school organization. Imagine a school where ideas count. Let your imagination go as far as it can and you have discovered the accelerated school.

Our vision: Accelerated Schools PLUS is recognized as an exemplary process for accelerating learning of all students through data driven inquiry, reflective teaching, and powerful learning.

Accelerated Schools PLUS is an affiliate of the Neag School of Education at the University of Connecticut and a partner with the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented.
