    Academics

    Our faculty and administrative staff write and develop our curriculum in order to incorporate the most current research and best practices in education for gifted learners. Field trips and hands-on experiences are a vital part of education, and for students who start with us in Early Childhood, they will have the opportunity to have taken more than 8o trips and educational excursions before they graduate. The program we’ve built is broad and deep, and it allows students to soar.

WHY GIVE TO SYCAMORE?

Philanthropic support from our Board, staff, families, alumni, and friends enhances every student's  experience beyond what would be possible with tuition dollars alone. In fact, the Sycamore Fund provides the second largest contribution to the School’s operating budget, after tuition. It helps ensure the financial resources that have been essential to our ability to be flexible and offer the very best educational experience for our students.

Financial support will help provide:
  • Annual professional development for faculty.
  • Financial Aid for 20% of our students.
  • New school-wide health and safety protocols.
  • Technology to support faculty and students.
Every gift every year has an immediate impact on academic programs, faculty development, the arts, athletics, and clubs. Every gift matters.

12 SIGNS: Can I Tell If My Child Is Gifted?

Parents are among the best identifiers of gifted children.  You clearly know your child better than anyone, and your input should be welcomed and valued by any school you are considering for your child.
 
Typically, parents of gifted kids will notice characteristics of giftedness in their child at an early age.  At Sycamore, we call these the “Twelve Signs” of a gifted child.

Read the 12 Signs.

List of 2 news stories.

  • Five Sycamore Students Qualify for State MATHCOUNTS Competition

    3/11/2021
    Justin Puno led Sycamore with a 4th place finish at the Chapter MATHCOUNTS Invitational, earning one of the five guaranteed spots in the State MATHCOUNTS competition. Kaitlyn Park, David Jiang, Daniel Liu, and Sophie Liang each secured 1 of the 10 wildcard spots from across the state. 
  • Science: 8th Grade Physics and the study of fluid forces

    3/5/2021
    Sycamore 8th graders in Mr. Schuth's 8th grade science class are studying Physics, and the effects of "fluid forces" (air, liquid, etc...). Students started this experiment with an egg in a plastic bag, placed in a disposable cup. They had to create a device that, when dropped for a height of approximately 20 feet, would allow the cup to hit the ground first, while the device would auto-rotate, much like an unpowered helicopter.

    Students earned top tier finishes if the egg survived the fall without a crack, and the the device met construction parameters. Ties were broken by measuring the mass of the vessels, with the heaviest winning the tie-breaker.
