• The Highly Capable Program in Everett Public Schools is designed to meet learning needs and challenge students who have advanced thinking and academic abilities. Highly Capable classes are open to students in second, third, fourth and fifth grade.

    Students learn and study in self-contained classrooms with a fast-paced curriculum that encourages and inspires them to develop higher-level thinking skills. Highly Capable classrooms are held in specific schools in the district, based upon qualified enrollment. The district provides transportation for students who attend a Highly Capable Center that is not their neighborhood school.

    The deadline for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade referrals has passed. We are unable to accept any additional referrals at this time.
