The Calais School is committed to providing our students with a comprehensive educational program that allows for the intellectual growth of the individual, provides a shared sense of family and community responsibility, and offers a global perspective to the issues that affect the daily experience. CALAIS STARS (Students That Achieve Reach & Succeed) is a collective effort that helps students develop as productive members of the larger 21st century society in which we live and work.

With this in mind, it is with great pleasure that The Calais School announces the creation of the academic supplemental Gifted & Talented Program, CALAIS STARS. This pilot program will focus on technology and be conducted throughout the 2014-15 school year. Students will take part in a well-rounded learning experience that will balance traditional and non-traditional educational opportunities.

Gifted and Talented lead teacher Mr. Maturo and our Calais STARS will be working on a technology project next year.

This Gifted and Talented program will give students opportunities to expand upon the foundations provided within the classroom, to grow into lifelong scholars, and to develop their own intrinsic motivation, becoming active model citizens of our society.

We look forward to seeing their work next year!
