STEP UP, the South Euclid Lyndhurst programming for intellectually gifted students, serves qualifying students in grades three through six.  These students require a learning experience that encourages individual exploration, problem solving, and creative thinking; and establishes a setting for the exchange of ideas with other students who are identified as gifted.  The activities are structured to enhance creativity while using skills at the higher levels of the cognitive and affective domain.  Students are placed in the STEP UP pull-out program unless specific conditions indicate that the placement is not in the student’s best interest.

South Euclid Lyndhurst’s homework procedure for STEP UP students indicate that during the times in which students are in STEP UP and are absent from regularly scheduled classes, it is expected that they will complete only those assignments which are basic to continuing a skill development.  Students are not required to do every assignment given to the class while they are pulled-out for STEP UP class.  Careful consideration is given to what legitimately constitutes a pertinent assignment for the STEP UP student.  When possible, tests and quizzes will be scheduled on non-STEP UP days; or students will be afforded an appropriate time to make up a missed test or quiz.
