Gifted High School Program

In the GHSP, students of exceptionally high academic and intellectual ability are grouped in a cohort in the core areas of English, history, science and math. Placement in each area is based on knowledge and skill level.  In grades 10 & 11 students enroll in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program with the goal that they complete IB degrees at the end of the 11th grade.  The 12th grade curriculum includes internships, independent studies, research projects and college classes.

Entry Criteria

Standard Age Score of 144 (99.7%) on the Cognitive Abilities Test and at least 90% on Reading and Quantitative with one of those scores at 97% or above.   

Current PRISM students are automatically accepted into the Gifted High School Program at Interlake as they register.  Other students, including those from other school districts, can apply by taking an eligibility test.  Learn more about testing/eligibility >
