Gifted and Talented Program

 “Young children, particularly preschoolers, usually strike us as bright, full of  wonder, eager to learn, and artistically inclined. They delight us by asking  questions like little philosophers or by making playful, aesthetically pleasing  paintings that sometimes resemble the work of 20th century masters. Assuming  a normal brain and home environment, these gifts are nature’s largesse to  most children,” (winner, 2001, from Cerebrum).

BCPSS is redesigning its gifted and talented programs to better meet the needs of the entire student population. In the interim, the Advanced Academic Program is still offered in about half of the elementary schools.
