 Gifted Education
"Intellectually gifted children and youth are those who perform or who have demonstrated the potential to perform at high levels in academic or creative fields when compared with others of their age, experience, or environment. The children and youth possessing these abilities can be found in all populations, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human endeavor. " Alabama State Department of Education, Chapter 290-8-9


Welcome to the Jefferson County School System Gifted Education Program!  Gifted students are served through a variety of services. Kindergarten through second grade students are served in the general education classroom through collaboration of the general education teacher with the gifted specialist. Third through fifth/sixth grade students are served with pull-out services provided by the gifted specialist, in a resource learning center (RLC). Sixth through eighth grade students are served through: optional Pre-AP classes taught by a highly qualified teacher, electives, extracurricular activities, and the guidance of a gifted specialist. High school students are served through the International Baccalaureate school, AP courses, Honor courses, dual enrollment, and extracurricular activities. We offer a thematic, conceptually based curriculum with an experiential education approach. Some of our themes are represented under the Curriculum title on this web page. Please feel free to look through the information presented.
