Since 1959, Ludlam Elementary School has been preparing students to interact in a technologically challenging, ever-changing global society. The school offers many specialized programs to meet the needs of the community. Among them is the full-time gifted program known as The Infinity Center. This innovative program was among the first in Miami-Dade County.

The Infinity Center provides an environment designed to enhance the development of students who possess outstanding intellectual competencies. The Center seeks to encourage maximum development of academic abilities, including skills such as creative thinking and practical problem solving, higher levels of communication, leadership qualities, self-realization, social responsibility, research skills, critical thinking, and independent study.

A unique opportunity


The Infinity Center affords the gifted child unique opportunities that are purposeful, motivating, challenging, and dynamic. At Ludlam, the student progresses beyond basic skills to higher thinking skills and experiences a wide range of specialized instructional strategies to meet his or her needs.

Ludlam's Infinity Center emphasizes a qualitatively differentiated curriculum based on content, concepts, process, and application through all areas of study. This approach provides in-depth consideration of topics in the area of humanities far beyond the requirements of standard course studies, and is designated as an advanced level program.

A Full-Time Curriculum


While some schools offer part-time gifted programs, The Infinity Center offers a full-time curriculum whereby students are grouped together all day. 

Teachers at The Infinity Center provide both a gifted program and a basic skills program utilizing problem-based instruction. Gifted strategies are used to teach all of the basic academic subjects.

A Direct Investment


The strength of our community and our future is based on the academic standards of our schools, their programs of study, and on the achievement of our students. With this in mind, we consider The Infinity Center at Ludlam Elementary a direct investment in academic excellence, providing students with the kind of experience that can bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world.
