Young Scholars

The Young Scholars Program is a program for sixth grade students to undertake in an extended and independent research project on a topic of their choice with the guidance of a mentor from the community.  The program  includes small-group learning experiences in addition to independent research.  As part of PSD’s gifted and talented education program, students present their projects each spring in a district-wide conference.
