Recognizing that learners differ in important ways, the Osborn School District assures a quality education for each student by identifying these significant differences and establishing appropriate expectations for them to achieve maximum growth. Gifted Education is an integral part of the total mission of the Osborn School District. We are committed to gifted education for gifted students to help them develop their extraordinary abilities and recognize their unique values, needs, and talents. The program for gifted students is designed to aid in the optimum development of their intellectual, emotional, and social abilities and to honor the diversity among the identified gifted students.
The Arizona Academic Standards form the foundation of curriculum for all district programs. Modifications made in the curriculum for gifted students will ensure that students have mastered the standards and will provide extensions for students to meet or exceed the standards at the highest level.
