All of Our Programs Use a Multi-Sensory Approach That Greatly Improves Visual and Auditory Processing Speed, Working Memory, Executive Functioning, Confidence, and Perseverance

• Your child’s grades are fine but they seem bored with school.

• You fear your learner is losing their love of learning because they aren’t being challenged in school.

• You feel your student’s potential isn’t being maximized in a traditional classroom.

• You’d love to see your learner using an individualized curriculum that can move at their accelerated pace.

• Your gifted learner plans to attend a private school but you’d like to ensure they are truly ready for the admission test.

If any of these scenarios sound familiar to you, Fit Learning’s 1:1, customized instruction can help! At Fit, we can develop an individualized learning program for gifted or talented students that challenges them and moves them grade-levels ahead. Because our approach is grade-level agnostic, we can truly meet the learning pace (and unique needs) of an accelerated learner.

Who Benefits from the Gifted Program at Fit Learning in St. Louis?

Students who would benefit from Fit’s gifted instruction include:

• Learners who grasp academic concepts quickly (even without a lot of formal instruction) as compared to their peers
• Children who are clearly talented but whose grades have started slipping
• Gifted learners who seem increasingly disengaged or “tuned out” with what’s going on at school
• Students who are bored with classroom material and could benefit from additional challenge and enrichment
• Children who prefer to work independently versus sticking with the slower pace and repetition of classroom instruction
• Talented students who get good grades but whose problem-solving skills could be strengthened
• Gifted learners preparing to attend an exclusive or demanding private school

Why Is Enrichment So Important for Gifted Students?

It’s critical that gifted children are provided sufficient rigor in their curriculum in order to maintain their interest in learning, have opportunities to learn from mistakes, and develop the cognitive and study skills that will be needed as the academic material gets harder. Without a challenging curriculum, they can easily become bored and unmotivated to study or keep their grades up. Further, they may fail to develop the self-management skills needed to successfully navigate “real life” outside of academics. (For example, oftentimes, gifted students can benefit from practicing the application and generalization of skills to solve problems.)

At Fit, we meet your child right where they are and help them grow academically to learn and master more advanced concepts. Each enrollment starts out with a comprehensive skills assessment to identify your learner’s fluency in a range of component skills. Then, based on the results of that assessment, we design a customized learning plan to take your child’s learning to the next level … in a way that is enjoyable and interesting for them.
