Gifted Students possess academic talents and abilities that differ from those of their peers to such a degree that opportunities must be provided to help them develop to their greatest potential. In keeping with the Bozeman Public Schools' goal to offer instructional programs that address differences in abilities, needs, and learning styles of all students, the Bozeman Board of Education is committed to the identification of gifted students and to providing appropriate educational experiences for those students.
Goals
The Bozeman School District has established the following goals for the Academically/Intellectually Gifted Program:
• To utilize a range of assessment instruments to recognize the students who are academically and/or intellectually gifted within the Bozeman School District
