Gifted Program

Somerset Academy proudly offers a

Grades 3 to 7. This specialized program
is meticulously designed to cater to the

even higher intellectual aptitude and
creative thinking abilities.


Our Gifted Program is structured to
align with each student's current
academic level, allowing them to
progress at their individual pace.
