Golda Meir: Legacy of Success
Golda Meir School offers an array of Gifted and Talented programs and services including Project Lead the Way and extended local, regional, national and international field trips. We offer cultural experiences in collaboration with Present Music, Skylight Opera, Milwaukee Repertory Theatre, Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO) and First Stage Children’s Theatre. Our after-school activities include debate, forensics, basketball, track, chess, choral groups, TAP and Mad Hot Ballroom. We feature clubs for math, science, computers and media and Junior Great Books. Admission for grades 3-8 is based upon referral from your child’s teacher. Contact your child’s teacher or the school for more information. Golda Meir is growing to serve Gifted & Talented high school students, continuing with 12th graders in 2017-18! Golda Meir School offers a Gifted and Talented Program designed for a diverse urban student population. Our test scores reflect results that could only be achieved by students motivated by an exciting, interdisciplinary curriculum and supported by caring parents. Extended field trip opportunities currently include destinations like Chicago, Minneapolis, the Grand Canyon, New York, Denmark and Northern Wisconsin. Our downtown location allows for regular visits to First Stage Children’s Theater, Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee Public Museum, Central Library, and numerous other downtown attractions. Middle school teachers continue the Golda Meir tradition of high level literacy and mathematics, with extended lab opportunities in science and extensive research experience in social studies. Community service, foreign language studies, and arts education are integrated into the program as well. The Golda Meir staff creates a stimulating environment where the potential of every student is discovered and rewarded. As one of Milwaukee’s original magnet schools, our urban gifted and talented program represents over 35 years of high academic standards and an engaging curriculum for a culturally diverse population.
