The Miamisburg City Schools are committed to meeting the needs of individual learners and providing opportunities for their achievement of maximum personal growth and development. Of great importance is a curriculum designed to address the unique needs of gifted and talented students. Programs with special allocations of time, service, and resources can serve these differences. The Challenger Program, for identified “gifted and talented” students, is a logical extension of the commitment and belief of the Miamisburg School District. This program provides planned learning experiences for grades 3-5 that take into consideration individual learning styles and special abilities. As students enter grades 6-12, honors courses, Advanced Placement courses, enrichment activities in music and art, and post-secondary opportunities are made available to those students who qualify.
Special Education programs and services are offered to students with disabilities. Instruction is provided by specially trained and certified teachers who provide individualized instruction based on an individual student’s needs. Classroom instruction, tutoring services, and inclusive classes are all components of our special education services.
