| Abstract: | While educators throughout America are making strides to adequately educate students across a wide spectrum of needs and aptitudes, increasing government regulation such as the No Child Left Behind Act in 2002 and calls for accountability may be hindering the educational progress of the best and brightest, as recently by noted Peters and colleagues in 2014. This article reports strategies and research pointing to successful methods in the education of those who are gifted, especially techniques drawn from a resurgence of the classical Christian method. Techniques discussed include mastery based, integrated curriculum, learning how to think/metacognition, Latin as foundational to multiple language fluency, and Christ-centered as opposed to child-centered educational focus.
