Gifted/Talented

The focus of the GT Program is to serve students who have instructional needs due to exceptional potential in both intellectual and creative abilities.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE GIFTED AND TALENTED?
The Eanes Independent School District is committed to an educational program that recognizes the special value, needs, and talents of the individual student. Gifted students need a qualitatively differentiated program that provides time for work with other gifted students and time for work on creative self-directed projects. EISD provides appropriate educational services for identified gifted and talented students as part of its overall K-12 program.

The GT program provides a rich curriculum, which develops and reinforces skills in critical and creative thinking, logic and problem solving, divergent thinking, research, and communication.

The focus of the EISD GT Program is to serve students who have instructional needs due to exceptional potential in both intellectual and creative abilities.  Because each district has different qualification guidelines, children, including students new to the district, will need to be assessed in order to be recommended for the Eanes ISD Gifted Program.

HOW ARE STUDENTS SERVED?
The gifted pull-out program in elementary and middle school uses interdisciplinary units of study and activities that may incorporate core content areas of science, social studies, math, and language arts.

In high school, students are provided with multiple opportunities through academics (Pre-AP and AP courses), Computer Science, Fine Arts, Engineering, INCubator Entrepreneurship, Independent Study Mentorship Program, Robotics, and other programs.
