The Center is a non-profit corporation that provides educational/consulting services for:

  • highly intelligent children
  • their parents
  • teachers who care about such children and who want to work with them.

The Center offers two primary programs for children: the Developing Dimensions Program, a Saturday and summer program designed to augment and complement the regular schooling of gifted learners; and the Magellan Day School, EPL, the Early Preparatory Learning Program that offers a day school designed specifically for highly intelligent learners. Both programs recognize that gifted learners require a true peer group to develop social skills, leadership abilities, and self-acceptance.

The Center bases its programs on the belief that gifted learners are qualitatively different from other learners. The Center welcomes gifted learners into an environment that is intellectually and emotionally safe, where they can practice democracy of the intellect and engage in preparations that may make profound contributions to the world of ideas, experience, and speculation.

Because the Center intends that every child would benefit from the nontraditional curricular and programmatic adaptations for gifted learners, Center services are extended to any educator who wants to learn how to use aspects of Center programs for the general population.

The Wisconsin Center for Gifted Learners admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administrations of its educational policies, admissions policies, or any school administered programs.
