Description

Based on the philosphy that all students possess gifts and talents, Zebulon offers an innovative approach to education by blending core academic studies with a wide varity of elective courses.

With its focus on Math, Science and Technology, Zebulon's gifted and talented program also offers electives in social studies, language arts,and the arts. This model provides students with a wide variety of courses that have an interest beyond their regular academic classes.

The curriculum is based on the belief that all students possess gifts and talents that need to be identified, valued, nurtured, andrewarded. The gifted and talented program addresses the gifts and talents of all students, so there are no performance measures, auditions, or tests that must be passed before students are accepted into the school.

The curriculum is divided into two components: core curriculum and electives. Students spend four periods each day in the core areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. In three periods they explore new areas of interest or study a particular area in depth in elective courses. Students may choose electives in the following areas: language arts, social studies,math, science, health, physical education, computer studies, art, music, drama, dance, vocational education, foreign language, and media.

ZGTMMS is also the first fully implemented Technology Connections school in Wake County. Every instructional area is equipped with five or more networked computers, for access to the Internet, and to educational software which assists with the implementation of technology across all curriculum areas.
