Gifted & Talented

GT Parent Information

Our Mission

Advanced academics are educational services designed to move students with high ability at a pace appropriate to their rate of learning through studies that go beyond the age-level or grade-level expectations which include depth and complexity, provide academic acceleration, and address the cognitive, social, and emotional needs of the students.

State Goal for Services for GT Students

Students who participate in services designed for gifted/talented students will demonstrate skills in self-directed learning, thinking, research, and innovative products and performances that reflect individuality and creativity and are advanced in relation to students of similar age, experience, or environment.
