Gifted & Talented
The vision of College Community’s Gifted and Talented Program is to provide challenging and engaging learning all day, every day so each gifted learner can meet their potential. Gifted and talented students are a diverse group with a range of strengths and needs. We provide intellectual challenge and academic support for this distinct group using a continuum of options for challenge and acceleration. The daily mission of our Gifted and Talented Program is to recognize the academic and affective strengths and needs of each gifted learner and actively support their growth.
