The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Public School System
is committed to providing learning opportunities
which will stimulate all children while
simultaneously meeting the unique needs of the
academically talented student.
Additional
students, who meet the criteria, may be included in
the fifth grade QUEST Program. The criteria include
a teacher checklist, group ability test, and a
review of the NJ Assessment of Skills and Knowledge
(NJ ASK) in fourth grade. The program is conducted
within the student's own school. Students meet by
grade level on a rotating schedule.
The QUEST program is committed to providing a
curriculum which emphasizes the use of thinking
skills through independent and group activities.
These activities will prepare our learners for
meaningful participation in both the classroom and
community by valuing their individuality,
recognizing their skills, and instilling in them an
appreciation of their ability to contribute to
society.
Additionally, after school workshops/clubs will
be provided for all fifth grade students who
demonstrate a talent and/or interest in a variety
of areas (for example, Science Olympiad, Math
Club).
