CHALLENGING MINDS SINCE 1980<br />
Community leader Jon Lundin began <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> College Whiz Kids<br />
as a summer enrichment program intended for students with high abilities <strong>and</strong> high interests in special<br />
academic areas. NOW, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> College Whiz Kids continues to provide students in K-8th grade with a<br />
variety of academic enrichment opportunities. Through creative teaching strategies, materials, <strong>and</strong> curricula,<br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> College Whiz Kids offers unique, h<strong>and</strong>s-on activities with inventive modes of participation. <strong>Rock</strong><br />
<strong>Valley</strong> College Whiz Kids classes are designed to:<br />
• Challenge students to learn new material quickly<br />
• Explore subjects more intensely than in their current grade-level curriculum<br />
• Offer opportunities for students to become acquainted with other students who have similar academic interests<br />
• Introduce children to a college environment without the pressure of earning a grade<br />
• Provide a supportive environment where students “learn by doing”<br />
• Encourage students to apply critical <strong>and</strong> creative thinking skills to numerous areas of study<br />
• Offer a variety of instructional methods to stimulate <strong>and</strong> challenge students’ interests<br />
Students have fun using their imaginations, perfecting their talents, <strong>and</strong> gaining confidence in academic<br />
areas. Parents like this program because it provides a positive <strong>and</strong> stimulating environment for their<br />
children. We like it because we enjoy the kids <strong>and</strong> love to see learning in action!<br />
