Special Programs
Gifted and English as a Second Language classes are provided to qualifying students across all grade levels.
The ESOL program is designed for students to receive help with learning English immediately upon arrival to MRH. The program offers intensive instruction to students whose first language is not English. Students learn to understand, speak, read, and write English and learn a new culture. The learning environment is supportive and non-threatening and allows students to learn English quickly and make necessary academic and social adjustments.

The MRH Gifted Program (E4) supports the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District’s commitment to academic and personal success for every student. Academically gifted students come from all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds and possess unique abilities, needs, and potentials and are, therefore, a unique segment of the district’s student population. Academically gifted students’ abilities differ from their peers to such a degree that differentiated curricula and instructional techniques are needed to nurture growth and development. In order to meet the unique needs of gifted and talented students, MRH offers academically gifted programming and an interdisciplinary curriculum that is different from the regular school curriculum by the degree of complexity of content, process, and products to challenge academically gifted students to achieve their highest potential.
