Gifted & Talented
The Gifted & Talented, formerly known as the Advanced Academic Programs, at Christina School District includes expanded advanced academic programs in grades K-5, an advanced middle school Honors Program in grades 6-8, and increased opportunities for students to take challenging coursework and earn college credit in grades 9-12.
Elementary (K-5)
At the elementary level, the focus will be on implementing lessons in critical and creative thinking for all students, identifying academically gifted students, meeting the needs of talented students, and providing expanded levels of service.
Middle School (6-8)
Applicants will be selected based on their application as well as their potential for success in a rigorous academic program in grades 6-12 that will include Honors courses, pre-Advanced Placement (AP) preparation, Advanced Placement classes, and college-level coursework.
High School (9-12)
The Gifted & Talented program is offered at all three of our traditional high schools—students can engage in rigorous honor programs, take advantage of dual enrollment options for college credit, and excel in Advanced Placement courses that prepare them for higher education.
