About Northern's G&T Program

Northern Burlington's Gifted & Talented program serves grades 7-12. In 7th and 8th grade, Northern Burlington’s G&T program is called R.O.G.A.T.E. (Resources Offered to Gifted And Talented Education); at the high school, Northern Burlington offers G&T Seminars I, II, & III. 

The courses follow a holistic approach to teaching gifted students, focusing on students’ inherent passions and interests as well as developing their social skills. Influenced by Renzulli's research and the Mensa organization, the G&T Program at Northern Burlington offers students a safe space to discover and explore with confidence and autonomy through passion projects, research, & public speaking. 

Students enrolled in the G&T courses are exposed to a variety of topics and engage in various activities designed to pique their curiosity and challenge them beyond the regular classroom. These courses are electives and the curriculum is aligned to the national G&T Programming Standards. Once students qualify, they can enter in and out of the program as scheduling permits.
