Gifted & Talented

Overview:

At the Neptune City School District, our ongoing commitment is to provide all our students with the finest educational opportunities. A significant aspect of this endeavor is our Gifted and Talented (G&T) Program, which is specifically designed to cater to students showcasing advanced abilities. This program not only recognizes their talents but also ensures they receive specialized educational opportunities and enrichment tailored to their needs.

The New Jersey Administrative Code (N.J.A.C.) Title 6A, Chapter 8 defines "gifted and talented students" as those who "possess or demonstrate high levels of ability in one or more content areas when compared to their chronological peers.” The primary objective of this identification is to ensure that these students receive programming and services tailored to their specific learning needs and potential. It's important to acknowledge that within every school setting, there are students whose abilities necessitate modifications to the general education curriculum for them to fully achieve in line with their capabilities. By discerning a student's intellectual ability, creativity, or specific academic aptitudes, we pinpoint the necessity for specialized programming and services that extend beyond the standard curriculum.
