The District's philosophy of service to gifted and talented students advocates the best possible education for all students according to their individual abilities, interests, and needs. Every student possesses a unique set of interests, goals, abilities, and liabilities.
Gifted students exhibit outstanding potential compared to age-mates.
Services for gifted students are woven into the fabric of the student's total school program. Gifted education is a combination of gifted and other advanced learning approaches based upon a student's strengths and interests. Balanced gifted programming aligns with student needs and includes student determination, academic development and talent development, positive attitudes and climate for maximum learning, and differentiated instruction. Gifted education is instruction and accountability commensurate with a student's ability to learn.
