Opportunities for authentic research are available throughout the program.  In addition, the 6th grade G/T Research Course and Independent Research Investigations are available to support the development of research skills.

Instructional Seminars are open to all students and range from the humanities to STEM related fields.  Offerings are designed to provide an opportunity for students to explore a variety of topics and fields.
