Gifted and Talented Academy (GTA)

North Middle School students holding up hearts made with their hands

The advanced programs at North Middle School and Jenkins Middle School are designed on the Talent Development Model of Gifted Education, which recognizes that a student's giftedness may not be global. For example, a student may have areas of giftedness – in math, art, ELA, music, or leadership. The advanced programs at North and Jenkins use individualized scheduling. This process allows for greater access to instruction in areas of high aptitude.  Students can participate in up to 6 advanced classes at different levels of acceleration. This research-based approach enables North MS and Jenkins MS to address the needs of each student individually.
