Gifted LearningLinks (GLL) Core Essentials courses allow students in grades 3 through 8 to master essential subject-area content that goes above and beyond what is traditionally offered at their grade level.  Guided by their instructor and using a variety of online tools, students are given the opportunity to work through academically challenging curriculum in language arts, math and science.

GLL Core Essentials courses comprise part of a course series running the entire academic year (i.e., fall, winter and spring sessions). Depending on the course, there may be prerequisites; students may enroll in any one session – or all three sessions – in a series.

Beginning on June 15, the summer session affords students the opportunity to take a class that they may have missed earlier in the year.
