Beginning as an elementary
school in 1990, RMS has earned an international reputation
for providing innovative and effective gifted education that
recognizes the complexity of the gifted child. Asynchronous
development, visual spatial learning, intensity, the need for
complexity and fast pacing are common characteristics of gifted
students which our faculty is trained to recognize and accommodate.
With the use of ability grouping and an individual learning
plan implemented by experienced gifted teachers in small classes,
our independent school stands out as a unique choice for
students identified as gifted through IQ testing, learning
style evaluations and self concept assessments.
Rocky Mountain
School supports the social and emotional development of gifted
children as much as their cognitive development. We help
gifted children discover their gifts of the heart and spirit.
Students thrive in an atmosphere that supports integration
of the cognitive, social, emotional, ethical and spiritual
self. This foundation enables Rocky Mountain School to challenge,
support, and inspire gifted individuals.
 Please take the time
to peruse our web site. Not only will you find information
specific to RMS, but also general information about gifted
children and resources for parents, teachers, counselors
and others who care about, support and work with gifted children.
I
invite you to attend one of our monthly orientations. You
will have an opportunity to hear more about giftedness, the
admission process, the curriculum and tour the school. We’d
like you to witness for yourself the difference that a learning
environment dedicated to and designed for the gifted learner
can make.
Sincerely,
Barbara Mitchell Hutton
Executive Director and Founder
