At the French American School of Denver, we are committed to meeting the needs of gifted learners through a balanced approach that challenges students academically and supports their social-emotional growth. Identified GT/HGT students have Advanced Learning Plans (ALPs) with one academic and one social-emotional goal, developed in collaboration with families and teachers. Progress is shared twice a year.

Our programming includes small-group instruction during WIN time, project-based learning, and opportunities such as Destination Imagination, Science Fair, and Shakespeare Festival. Classroom teachers also receive coaching and resources to differentiate instruction so that gifted students are consistently engaged and supported within their daily learning environment.

Students who show strong potential but are not yet formally identified may be monitored through our Talent Pool. Talent Pool students are supported primarily through classroom differentiation and teacher collaboration, ensuring that their strengths are noticed and nurtured.

At FASD, we believe that every child deserves to be seen, challenged, and encouraged to reach their full potential—en français et en anglais.
