PLUS of SWMI Presents: 

Surviving Middle School

The middle grades can be a challenge for any child.

For advanced and accelerated children, there are unique difficulties, including:

                    Underachievement         • Lack of academic challenge             • Social/emotional issues

This presentation is designed to help you and your gifted student through the particular issues faced during this frequently difficult – and never dull - transition period.
