The Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program is planned and organized as an integrated differentiated learning experience:

  • within the regular school day
  • augmented or supplemented with other differentiated activities related to the core curriculum
  • including independent study, acceleration, postsecondary education, and enrichment

All programs, including creative, visual, and performing arts programs provide participating pupils with an academic component. (EC 52206)
