Link Community Charter School recognizes the need for a continuum of programming services to exist for gifted learners as an integral part of a differentiated instructional program. The school community strives to provide a rich array of learning experiences and ongoing educational programs that identifies, develops, and expands the wealth of gifts and talents of our students while monitoring the value and impact of the services provided. These experiences should promote 21st Century Learning Skills that include; critical thinking, creative problem solving, creativity, communication, collaboration, and global competencies that exist within and beyond the classroom.
