Rationale

"It is better to grow children 
than to repair men and women"

The Wisconsin Center for Gifted Learners provides services for intellectually gifted learners who need to fulfill their potential.

Such learners have a

1. superior, expansive capacity to know,
2. an intensive personal desire to know,
3. and a high level ability to learn.

At The Center they meet challenge and experience a connection between effort and outcome. Thus, they avoid early pressures that so often cause gifted learners to protect themselves in defensive ways. Instead, they learn to take charge of their capabilities, use their abilities, and accept and deal with the connections between effort and advancements.
