Gifted and Talented programming supports students who have advanced intellectual ability compared to other students their age. These students have exceptional potential or ability across a wide range of areas, from creative thinking to understanding abstract relationships.
Students must be enrolled in elementary or junior high and meet Gifted and Talented eligibility requirements. Priority will be given to resident students of Edmonton Public Schools. Generally, students are considered a resident student if they have at least one parent or guardian living in Edmonton who is not Roman Catholic.
Contact your child’s current school for information about eligibility and specialized programming options.
All Edmonton Public Schools programming is based on curriculum determined by Alberta Education. Students enrolled in Gifted and Talented programming will receive the same high-quality education offered in all of our programs.
Most schools offering specialized programming have some yellow busing options available. Edmonton Transit is the preferred method of transportation for junior high students. For more information about busing, contact your child’s school or call Student Transportation at 780-429-8585.
