AIG (Academically and Intellectually Gifted) Program
AIG (Academically and Intellectually Gifted) Program
New Hanover County Schools want to ensure that all students are being challenged and supported to grow academically and creatively. To this end, NHCS supports a gifted and talented education program throughout its K-12 schools. Mrs. Ladd is the Gifted Education Specialist (GES) at Bellamy that supports its gifted students as well as those who show potential. Mrs. Ladd works closely with classroom teachers and elective teachers to ensure there are a wide variety of high-interest and rigorous opportunities to keep students engaged and growing.
Students can be nominated for the AIG program at any time at any level by parents, friends, staff, or the students themselves. The NHCS nomination process is uniform across the county. The same data collection tools and Match Team selection processes are used in all schools. If you are interested in nominating your student, please download the nomination packet and return it to Mrs. Ladd. Families may also simply hand it into the main office and Ms. Penny will make sure it gets to me.
