PIE was specifically created to academically challenge students who demonstrate gifted behavior and learning potential. In addition to the standard core curriculum offered at St. George's, PIE students participate in highly specialized and unique learning opportunities
The basic structure of the program is based on the Enrichment Triad Model developed by Dr. Joseph Renzulli, who pioneered programs specifically for children who are talented and gifted. His model is widely known amoung educators as the nation's top program for educating the talented and gifted. The Enrichment Triad Model states that gifted behavior and potential reflect an interaction among three basic clusters of human traits: above average ability, high levels of task commitment, and high levels of creativity.
