Upcounty Center
The Roberto Clemente Middle School Center Program offers two rigorous programs of academic study to highly gifted students from the upper portion of Montgomery County. Both programs feature an interdisciplinary approach in multiple subject areas. Students may apply to both programs, but may only participate in one.
Student Qualities
The two center programs are designed for highly able students who desire to be further challenged academically and are ready to be actively involved in their own learning with a group of their intellectual peers. Students in both programs exhibit a high level of curiosity, analytical thinking, and imagination.
