Primary Gifted Program (PGP)

In addition to appropriate differentiation in the classroom, GT services are provided through a program that takes place at their home campuses. Students are provided  services weekly. Instruction focuses on the development of independent research skills, developing products and on meeting the social-emotional needs of GT students.

SPIRAL

In addition to appropriate differentiation in the classroom, identified GT students in grades 3-5 are offered GT services through the SPIRAL program. Students are served at their home campuses weekly or online if parents choose remote instruction. Instruction in the SPIRAL program is interdisciplinary.

Identified GT students in grades 6-12 are provided services specific to their identified areas of giftedness: language arts/social studies and/or mathematics/science. GT students may be grouped in GT-only classes, clustered in Pre-AP/AP classes, or IB classes.  The grouping varies by school, grade level, and subject area. Check with your school for additional information.  

Acceleration is offered in math as a single subject or a whole grade can be skipped. The passing requirements are different depending if students have had prior instruction. 

Credit by Exam is offered four times a year, once in June and once in July, at the SBISD Administration Building, and once in the fall and once in the spring at the student’s home campus. 

Each campus receives information regarding acceleration and credit by examination. Registration for exams other than Spanish and French begins the week after Spring Break each year.

The school counselor at each campus is the contact for credit by exam testing.
