Rubicon Academy
Bring Education to LifeAs a parent, one of your many jobs is to encourage and foster the potential your child displays as he or she grows. But how can you decide if the potential you see is really an exceptional natural ability? One option is to have your child tested-formally or informally-to document the gifts and talents you suspect, and to use that information to make sound educational choices and decisions. The Rubicon Academy brings education to life for gifted children. Our goal is to prepare students for the competitive global economy that awaits them in the future. We build on the children’s natural curiosity and begin early to broaden their horizons. Our highly educated instructors specialize in developing character, knowledge and critical thinking skills in all our students with patience and encouragement.
