Gifted and Talented

A gifted/talented (GT) student is a child or youth who performs at or shows the potential for performing at a remarkably high level of accomplishment when compared to others of the same age, experience, or environment and who

• Exhibits high performance capability in an intellectual, creative, or artistic area;
• Possesses an unusual capacity for leadership; or
• Excels in a specific academic field.

PTAA recognizes the needs of the GT Learner both through placement and curriculum. Project based and hands on learning allow the GT student to achieve a deeper and broader understanding of concepts. A rigorous adherence to scientific thinking and logic based frameworks encourage the gifted student to develop at an accelerated rate.
