Welcome to iSmart, the exclusive talented and gifted program at Horizon Christian Elementary School! Based on the theory of Multiple Intelligences first developed by Howard Gardner, this program highlights a students "smarts" or learning strengths through assessment, interactive learning, special projects, field trips and community service.
Horizon Christian Elementary School believes that EVERY student is talented and gifted, providing opportunities for all upper grade students to assess, develop and expand their area of '"Smart" while exploring all 8 kinds of Smart. (see links on right)
Beginning with introduction, exploration and assessment in 4th grade, Horizon students participate in special programs focused in their top 2 areas of Smart. As students advance to 5th and 6th Grade they are grouped together with each other according to their strongest areas of "Smart" and participate in 2 different 4 week long "Modules" facilitated by a campus "expert"(staff member especially gifted in that area of Smart).
Each iSmart Module guides students in exploring, enhancing and celebrating their kind of Smart through special guest speakers, demonstrations, off campus experiences and community service projects.
Horizon's iSmart allows students to grow in confidence knowing that they are deliberately and beautifully made by our Creator and can look brightly toward the future knowing that because of their God designed strengths they will not only succeed but excel in academics and in life.
What "Smart" are you?
