Ongoing: SENG Model Parent Group (SMPG)
An eight (8) week virtual workshop for parents to learn how to effectively navigate through the challenges of raising a gifted student. Dates TBD. Join our mailing list for upcoming SMPG's.
Wait-listed participation from previous sessions will be given the first opportunity to register. Class size will be limited to provide the best group experience. There may be more than one SMPG, depending on the level of interest and registrations.
